San Francisco Giants fans, rejoice — the voices that have defined summer nights at the ballpark are here to stay. NBC Sports Bay Area has announced that longtime broadcasters Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper, affectionately known as Kruk & Kuip, will continue to call games together as part of a new contract extension.
What the Deal Looks Like
Under the new agreement, Mike Krukow will be calling all 81 home games from the NBC Sports Bay Area studio. In addition, he’ll broadcast 22 road games remotely, ensuring his familiar voice remains a constant for fans throughout the season.
Meanwhile, Duane Kuiper will continue his tradition of traveling with the team for away games, bringing fans his on-the-ground perspective from the visiting ballparks. Together, the duo will maintain their unique rhythm and camaraderie that has made them one of baseball’s most beloved broadcasting teams.
Why It Matters
For decades, Kruk & Kuip have been more than just announcers — they’ve been storytellers, entertainers, and part of the Giants family. Their playful banter, heartfelt stories, and ability to capture the highs and lows of Giants baseball have earned them legendary status in the Bay Area and beyond.
This new extension guarantees fans will keep hearing their voices tied to the game’s most memorable moments. Whether it’s a walk-off home run at Oracle Park or a nail-biter on the road, Kruk & Kuip remain the soundtrack of Giants baseball.
A Legacy That Lasts
Few broadcast duos in sports can claim the kind of bond Krukow and Kuiper share — not just with each other, but with the fans. Their partnership has spanned decades, and even as the logistics of calling games evolve, their chemistry continues to shine through every broadcast.
As the Giants gear up for another season, fans can take comfort in knowing the broadcast booth remains in good hands — or rather, good voices.
