GeoBroadcast Solutions Strengthens 95.7 The Game’s South Bay Signal with MaxxCasting™
The deployment expands Audacy’s coverage in San Jose, enhancing access to live sports
SAN JOSE, CALIF. - Audacy has partnered with GeoBroadcast Solutions (GBS) to deploy MaxxCasting™ technology for its San Francisco-based sports station, 95.7 The Game (KGMZ-FM), recently activating a new system in the San Jose market. The deployment marks a significant expansion into a new rated market and provides a stronger, clearer signal for sports fans across the South Bay including San Jose, Santa Clara, Milpitas and Campbell.
The system brings a measurable boost in reach, extending KGMZ’s high-quality FM coverage to over 400,000 additional potential listeners and strengthening reception in key commuter corridors and major sports venues such as Levi’s Stadium, the SAP Center and San Jose International Airport. The result is more consistent coverage during high-traffic commutes and major sporting events, ensuring fans can tune in for Golden State Valkyries and Golden State Warriors games and KGMZ’s lineup of premier sports talk programming.
“Sports listeners expect reliability, especially during live games,” said John Kennedy, SVP of Technical Operations, Audacy. “The MaxxCasting deployment strengthens our footprint in the South Bay, giving KGMZ a clear competitive edge over other sports outlets in the area.”
“We’re proud to expand our partnership with Audacy and bring MaxxCasting to San Jose for the first time,” said a GBS spokesperson. “Sports is where MaxxCasting shines, just as we’ve seen with Audacy’s Padres coverage in San Diego. This deployment not only strengthens KGMZ’s performance in a competitive market but also lays the groundwork for future ZoneCasting™ capabilities when the station is ready to deliver localized content.”
Two new synchronized booster nodes, strategically located in San Jose and the surrounding South Bay, integrate with KGMZ’s existing Diablo booster in the East Bay to create seamless coverage between the San Francisco (market 6) and San Jose (market 28) listening areas. The improved signal helps ensure more accurate audience measurement, giving KGMZ credit where listeners are actually tuning in.
