SAN JOSE — First the A’s announced the audio broadcasts for all of their games this season will only be available online. Now this week, the Sharks are experimenting with broadcasting audio for their next four games on its mobile app and not on terrestrial radio.

Dubbed the “Sharks Digital Roadtrip,” audio broadcasts of the next four Sharks games will be on the team’s Sharks+SAP Center app. The broadcasts will include a one-hour pregame show and interactive features.

The games from Feb. 20-25 will not be available on 98.5 KFOX, the Sharks’ radio network flagship since the 2000-01 NHL season. Fans wanting to listen to the broadcasts from the app in their car’s audio system will need to utilize Bluetooth technology or an auxiliary plug-in.

The Sharks play New Jersey on Thursday and the New York Rangers on Saturday, with both games starting at 4 p.m. (PT). The team then plays the New York Islanders on Sunday at 2 p.m. and finish the road trip Tuesday against Philadelphia at 4 p.m.

All four road games will still be televised on NBC Sports California.

Broadcasts on KFOX will resume Feb. 27 when the Sharks host New Jersey, and continue for the rest of the season.

A Sharks spokesman said while the team is happy with its partnership with KFOX, their signal does not reach certain parts of the Bay Area. KFOX, a classic rock station, is broadcast out of the South Bay.

The Sharks announced the plan in September, seeing it as a potential solution to expand their listening audience and increase team-related content.

Per the team spokesman, a decision has not been made on whether this will continue next season.

Longtime play-by-play announcer Dan Rusanowsky will broadcast all of the games, with Jamie Baker and Bret Hedican alternating as color commentators.
