49ers Set Five-Announcer Rotation To Cover Greg Papa’s Absence On 2025 Radio Calls

A rotation led by Guy Haberman addresses scheduling needs as Greg Papa undergoes cancer treatment.

Overview

  • The team named Guy Haberman, Justin Allegri, Troy Clardy, Carlos Ramirez and Jack Smith to handle play-by-play alongside analyst Tim Ryan.
  • Broadcasts will be mixed across KNBR 680/104.5 FM, KSAN 107.7 The Bone and KSFO 810 AM, with KNBR carriage beginning in October.
  • Haberman, the primary fill-in, worked the 49ers’ preseason TV with Tim Ryan and will also call games for the Big Ten Network.
  • Papa, 62, stepped away earlier this month for treatment of an undisclosed cancer, and his son has said returning this season would be very difficult.
  • The rotation takes effect for the Sept. 7 regular-season opener at Seattle as the club manages fill-ins’ other commitments.
