Damon Bruce Show | 95.7 The Game
He left SportsPhone 680 and started hosting the noon-3 p.m. The Damon Bruce Show on March 1, 2010, on sister station KTCT “KNBR 1050.” Damon returned to KNBR 680 for a few weeks in 2011, to co-host the 9 a.m. to noon show with Gary Radnich. He then returned to his show on 1050 after a month. The former SportsPhone680 host Larry Krueger started co-hosting with Gary. He comments on Bay Area and national sports as well as interviews journalists, athletes, and coaches on his current show.
In 2012 during the San Francisco Giants’ championship season, the team revoked Damon’s press credentials for the postseason. The Giants were not happy that he had posted a tweet that revealed pics he took of women in T-shirts wet from champagne during a clubhouse celebration after they clinched their division.
Damon delivered an eight-minute rant in November 2013, accusing the increased prevalence of women in sports journalism. Among other things, he had a discussion fostering public criticism of accused Richie Incognito, Miami Dolphins football player who was accused of bullying Jonathan Martin, his teammate.
Although acknowledging his words at first would be seen as a misogynist, he was “so right,” Damon stated that “There are very few, a small handful, of women who are any good at this at all,” and proclaimed “you see, I’m willing to share my sandbox as long as you’re willing to remember: You’re in my box.”
Damon’s comments generated a storm of media controversy as well as public outcry. This led to his temporary suspension from KNBR 1050. Also, he was stripped of his job broadcasting during San Francisco 49ers’ pre-game shows. On March 10, 2014, he had his last show on KTCT. Competing station KGMZ “95.7 the Game” announced the following day that Damon would become the 3-7 p.m. host effective March 31, 2014

Damon came out to the couch because he didn’t want to bother his wife who was still sleeping. He felt the following morning that he did not want to prep his show, didn’t want to think about sports and get excited for the NFL Draft or anything like that, Damon had never felt that before. He also noticed something odd about his left hand as he tried to send an email to his program director about not feeling well.
