month. we've also learned the raiders applied for the trademark of the name las vegas raiders. nfl owners would have to approve any move. there's also the question whether las vegas has enough fan

right next to jack london square, a major restaurant and entertainment complex still struggling to attract visitors. >> they've been talking about revitalizing jack london square, this would really revitalize the whole area. >> reporter: besides the ballpark many improvements would be needed to provide access to gameday and event crowds and since this is on bay fill, costs for a park would be elevated by earthquake codes. codes require the whole complex be built upon hundreds, if not thousands of steel footed pilings pounded deep into the ground. they would go through layers of loose soils, clays and muds to hit a solid rock foundation. this is possible if the support, engineering, permits and finances can be arranged in a way that does not hamper the giant economic engine here that is the port of oakland. >> there needs to be a formal proposal before you can investigate what, if any, impact there would be on other port operation. >> reporter: the inspection lasted 40 minutes, plenty of time for a look-see, especially when you're considering other sites, all of which have pluses and minuses. tom vacar, ktvu fox 2 news. coming up knbr earn benched by the warriors.

after 32 years and moving to 95.7 the game on the fm dial. >> our sports director joins us now. why in the world would the warriors want to leave knbr? >> that's true. they're a 50,000-watt powerhouse. there's a lot of reasons, but at the top of the list the golden state warriors are without a doubt the biggest and most popular franchise in the country probably right now. they've usurped the giants as the most watched and paid attention to franchise in the bay area. so in short any radio station would love to have the warriors on their network and i'll tell you why one of the big reasons this happened is because the giants had no. 1 priority on knbr. they kept getting usurped by the warriors. you want to listen to the warrior game, the giants are on the radio. so where do you find the warriors on your dial? so people are searching all over and one of the catalysts, too, i've heard is the warriors, the night they won their 73rd game to break the record the giants were broadcasting an exhibition game on knbr. so those kind of things hurt when you're the warriors wanting the best production for your team obviously and the warriors' president seemed to agree they don't want to be second fiddle to anyone now because they don't have to be. >> we have great respect for knbr and the giants and what they have built. there's a lot of programming on knbr, a lot of teams and there are commitments that were in place before the warriors became what the warriors are today. so we certainly respect those, but for us i think it's the right move at the right time. >> so they're ecstatic about that and the main thing is their product will now be in first position over on knbr it's always all about the giants. you can understand it. it's a business deal basically is what it boils down to, but it also kind of signals a shift in sports broadcasting now to fm where you can hear it better and you're starting to hear less and less games broadcast on am. the 49ers and the giants still are on knbr, while this up and coming 95.7 have the warriors, raiders, the a's and the sharks. >> will this hurt camden yard at all? >> the warriors have to be the most popular -- will this hurt knbr at all? >> the warriors have to be the most popular franchise right now. >> it's a big changeover to fm. >> that's why it matters to sports fans for sure. american swimmer ryan
