Brodie Brazil, the longtime studio host for Oakland A’s and San Jose Sharks pre- and postgame shows on NBC Sports California, announced Thursday that his time with the cable network will soon end.
Brazil said his final show with NBC Sports will be Sept. 29 when the A’s play the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park in their final game in “Oakland” uniforms.
A source indicated that Brazil’s contract wasn’t renewed by the network, which will continue to broadcast A’s games while the team is in Sacramento.
“I’m heartbroken to tell you that my time at NBC Sports is soon coming to an end,” Brazil said on his YouTube channel, which has over 46,000 subscribers. “As of right now when the A’s play their final game wearing Oakland across their chest on Sept. 29, it will also be my final show, after thousands at the network, since 2009.
“To satisfy your instant curiosities, nothing happened, But in the same breath, I don’t really have any answers to your likely questions.”
