SAN JOSE, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes have partnered with KNBR radio to launch a new radio show dedicated to the Earthquakes and world soccer that will air Wednesday nights on KNBR 1050. The show, named The Soccer Hour, will debut tonight.
The Soccer Hour will be hosted by Ted Ramey and will air for 60 minutes every Wednesday at 7 p.m. It will focus on the Earthquakes, MLS and the global game. A wide range of soccer experts will join Ramey on each show, along with Earthquakes coaches and players.
For tonight’s kick-off, Ramey will be joined by legendary soccer broadcaster J.P. Dellacamera and former Earthquakes player and current color analyst Chris Dangerfield.
Ramey, the play-by-play announcer for Earthquakes matches on 1590 KLIV, began his broadcasting career when he was a child, working alongside his father, Hal Ramey (former voice of the San Jose Earthquakes, Oakland A's, Stanford football and basketball), at a number of different sporting events. After a lifetime around broadcasting, Ramey began his own professional career in 2009 with KNBR, working for the San Francisco Giants postgame show. Ramey also started working for both ESPN Radio and AP and later moved to reporting traffic for KCBS and KGO. He then became the morning Sports Anchor for KNBR 1050 and "The Lamont and Tonelli Show" on 107.7 The Bone in 2012. He is currently the host of the 12-3 p.m. PT show five days a week (Monday-Friday) on KNBR 1050.
