Former KNBR host Damon Bruce will make a return to the San Francisco sports radio station Wednesday night. It marks his first appearance on the outlet in nearly a dozen years.
Bruce announced that he will join host Larry Krueger as a guest on KNBR’s Niners Nightly, a program dedicated to coverage and analysis of the San Francisco 49ers.
“It’s been 12 years, almost to the day, since the last time I was on KNBR,” Bruce said while revealing the upcoming appearance. “I’m going to be joining Larry Kruger tonight for Niners Nightly. I’m really looking forward to it.”
The scheduled appearance represents a notable moment for longtime listeners of the station, as Bruce was once a familiar presence on KNBR before his tenure ended more than a decade ago. He left The Sports Leader in 2014 to become the afternoon drive host at 95.7 The Game. Bruce held down afternoons until March 2023 when he was let go along with Ray Ratto.
Since leaving the station, Bruce has remained active in the Bay Area sports media landscape, building his own digital brand. He regularly hosts shows on YouTube and has built a channel that now features over 50,000 subscribers.
For Bruce, the appearance signals a rare return to a platform that played a significant role in his radio career, even if only for a single evening conversation centered around the 49ers. He has said previously that he wasn’t sure if he’d be back on local radio. That ends tonight when he appears on his former radio home.
