Papa, who in 2018 was a part of the 49ers pre- and postgame shows on NBC Sports Bay Area, said in July that his firing stemmed from an on-air segment he did in 2015 where he criticized the Raiders and threatened to quit over their interest in hiring Mike Shanahan as head coach after a bitter falling out Shanahan had with former owner Al Davis in the late '80s. Papa, who in addition to the Raiders has worked with the Golden State Warriors, Oakland Athletics, and San Francisco Giants, was the play-by-play voice of the Raiders for 21 years before being let go and replaced with Brent Musburger. "For a decade of unforgettable moments, appreciation to the 49ers, Tim Ryan, KNBR, and deep gratitude to the Faithful. "After 10 years, I’m moving from the 49ers radio booth to represent the team in other capacities," Robinson wrote.

With Papa partnering with Tim Ryan in the broadcast booth on game days, and Robinson active in the community and at 49ers events, we believe our fans have the best in the business bringing them their favorite team every day of the year.” We are elated to welcome Greg to the 49ers family and have him deliver the action in his own unique style directly to The Faithful for the very first time. Bay Area sports fans have been treated to his legendary calls of their teams for more than three decades. That is why we are thrilled he will continue on with the team and help us to continue to deliver the 49ers to our fans in a number of ways. The addition of Greg Papa to our broadcast team as the Voice of the 49ers adds to the great legacy of 49ers broadcasters who have previously held that moniker - Bob Fouts, Lon Simmons, Joe Starkey, Don Klein and Ted. “Ted has always been much more to our team than just a play-by-play voice, he’s a member of our family and a valuable ambassador for our organization. “For the last 10 years, the 49ers Faithful have listened to one of the most accomplished and respected professionals in the broadcasting community deliver the game day action of their favorite team,” 49ers President Al Guido said in a statement, per. Robinson will be replaced by former longtime Raiders play-by-play man Greg Papa, while Tim Ryan will be continuing his role as color analyst. The San Francisco 49ers will be making a change to their radio broadcast team, as on Wednesday it was announced Ted Robinson will be moving to a different role within the organization after being "Voice of the 49ers" for ten years.
