Earthquakes Renew Partnerships with KLIV Radio and KZSF La Kaliente









KLIV is a locally-owned station that serves the community and focuses on the news, events and people of Silicon Valley. An affiliate of CNN Radio, KLIV is Silicon Valley's only all-news radio station. Besides local news coverage, 1590 KLIV is also known for its frequent traffic reports covering Silicon Valley roads and freeways.



The broadcast team on the radio will include Ted Ramey, Anthony Passarelli and Joe Cannon.

Passarelli will also call a select number of games for KLIV, in addition to his duties as the play-by-play announcer for Comcast SportsNet.



Ramey 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.

After a stint in France and five years with the Colorado Rapids and LA Galaxy, Cannon came back to San Jose upon its return to MLS in 2008. He joined Vancouver Whitecaps FC after the 2010 season and played through 2013 before returning to the Bay Area, where he grew up in Los Altos Hills.
