Tim Livingston
When KSVY was just getting started back in 2004, the station was interested in having live broadcasts of Sonoma Valley High School sporting events. After looking for somebody to take a shot at the position, Sonoma High alum Tim Livingston stepped up to the plate and started his broadcasting career.

Tim Livingston grew up in Sonoma Valley and has been an avid sports fan all his life. He is the radio voice of Sonoma Dragons sports, covering football, boys and girls basketball, baseball, and some rugby and soccer matches for KSVY. A graduate of Sonoma High School in 2002, Tim played football for 3 years, which included a perfect freshman season at 8-0 in 1998, and a trip to the NCS playoffs in 2001. Tim studied journalism in college and transferred to San Francisco State in 2004 after a 2-year stint at Santa Rosa Junior College. At SF State, Tim worked on two weekly TV shows, did a weekly radio show as a sports talk host and a DJ, and worked as an intern at KTVU 2 in Oakland, still finding time to take the hour drive north in order to cover the Sonoma High sporting events. He graduated with his Bachelor’s of Arts in Radio and Television Production in 2006 from the Broadcast Electronic Creative Arts (BECA) department.

Tim has done over 125 broadcasts in his young career, which spans over 3+ years of Valley sporting events and a season of Diamond Dons baseball at the University of San Francisco in 2006, where the Dons had their best season ever and made their first ever trip to the College World Series. His favorite moment as a broadcaster was sitting in the press box at AT&T Park and calling the inaugural Benedetti Classic, a game in which USF beat Cal on a walk-off hit to win the game. Tim has also been a part of the launch of televised sporting events for SVTV 27, which started with their coverage of the football games this past fall. Currently, he is honing his craft in both radio and television on the mic and behind the scenes, as he is also a part-time producer and editor for KTVU in its sports department.
