Overview
- Ramirez announced on social media that he is leaving the network and his final broadcast was the Oakland A’s postgame show with Shooty Babbitt on Sunday.
- He joined the network in a remote role in 2021, moved to a full-time host and analyst role in 2022, and worked across coverage of the Giants, 49ers, Warriors, Kings and A’s.
- Ramirez often hosted bilingual interviews and became the primary host for NBC Sports Bay Area’s 49ers pregame and postgame studio programming despite the network not holding the team’s broadcast rights.
- NBC Sports Bay Area confirmed it currently has two full-time studio hosts, Bonta Hill and Kylen Mills, and said it will announce plans and talent for 49ers coverage in the coming weeks.
- Ramirez teased a “new chapter” and that he will leave the Bay Area, and his exit — coming months after Laura Britt’s departure — raises questions about bilingual outreach, talent replacements, and who will lead team-specific shows next.
