Today we head to the Bay area as we look at the local sports media covering the Oakland Raiders.

Newspaper- The Oakland Tribune is the daily newspaper in the city. It’s online sports page is housed as part of Inside Bay Area.com. Beat writer Jerry McDonald (Twitter) can be found on a page dedicated to the Raiders as well as one of the writers for the Bay Area News Group’s Inside the Oakland Raiders blog.  The Bay Area News Group also has a stable of sports columnists in Monte Poole, Carl Steward (Twitter), Tim Kawakami (Twitter), and Mark Purdy who will comment on the team.

Sports Radio- Live 105.3 FM serves as the flagship in the Oakland Raiders Radio Network.  Greg Papa handles play-by-play with former Raiders coach Tom Flores and quarterback Jim Plunkett adding analysis.  There doesn’t appear to be a dedicated sports radio station in Oakland (if I’m wrong, let me know), so I guess they can chime in with Raider talk on KNBR in San Francisco.

Television- Again, not being familiar with the Bay Area media, it looks like KTVU is the only television station located in the City.  Check out San Francisco for other alternatives.

Blogs-  I do know that there are plenty of independent blogs on the Raiders.  They include  Silver and Black Pride,  Just Blog, Baby, Raiders Locker, and Raiders Gab.  I don’t know how accurate this is, but there is a list of blogs at Raiders Links.

If you recommend other Raiders resources, add them in the comments area.
