A good source told me that Gary Radnich has re-upped with both KNBR and KRON4. Terms of his deal are not known, but industry peeps have told me the financial break-down is nowhere near as lucrative as Radnich' last contract, believed to be in the 'high six figures at KRON alone; obviously, given the financial state of Young broadcasting, KRON's corporate parent, and to a much lesser extent, KNBR and its owner, Cumulus.
Check this space for more updated info and the details. Radnich is on vacation from both his TV and radio duties. Ted Robinson is substituting for him at KNBR and Vern Glenn is working KRON duties.
**Bay Area media types are gone en mass for the Christmas holiday, with many second-tier talent at the anchor desk on radio and TV.
KGO radio begins its annual Christmas barrage of 24-hour yuletide music, (not to be scrooge, but is this an appropriate deal for a news-talk station?) KCBS will stick with regularly scheduled news and sports, albeit with less on-station personnel.

Vern Glenn, one of the good guys, who has worked his butt off for years without adequate recognition.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pleasure being able to listen to Ted Robinson fill in on KNBR. A true Christmas present. Intelligent sportstalk (there really is such a thing!) on a variety of subjects. A real pro - just wish the station would have more of them the rest of the year.
