Radnich-Bruce move counters 95.7 'The Game'; more to come

Short post before dinner...

Yes, call the proposed Radnich/Bruce pairing, (scheduled to debut Monday at 9 AM), as a precursor for a few more moves rumored at the head Cumulus KNBR outpost.

The fact it comes at precisely the same time as Entercom's mighty, cannibalized 95.7 FM, (now, 'The Game' and bringing along a slew of Comcast tonsils is no coincidence.)

A factor to consider: The morning Raddy/Bruce move also spells trouble for Radnich. Bruce is seen as the up-and-comer. He's eventually going to take over solo, not official now, but certainly down the road--that's been in the works for a few years now--Raddy's ratings justify it and Bruce isn't as expensive, at least for now.

  1. It's about time. While I'm not a DB fan, I like the sign that knibber is willing to make a move, which likely carries some price tag, to improve its product.

  2. I would bet all I have since the moment Kate Scott said she had a wife,Radnich has been beating Hammers door down that his career is tanking. There was no way in hell that Kate Scott would be a female Dibbly or Pecon.
    And no doubt Damon Bruce has an ulterior motive..like the camel who only started with his nose in the tent..not too much longer later the camel was in the tent and Arab Raddy was in the sand dunes sleeping.
    This smells of desperation,fast moves,and prayers...
    I told you losing Dibly would hurt KNBR. It's been worse then even I thought. He's a human domino effect..

  3. What are Radnich's ratings... are they going down hill, stable. Who takes D Bruce's slot? Also KNBR bought 1050 as a way to block another sportstalk station from entering the market, why would they hang on to it.... their ratings are not that great....and the landscape has certainly changed.

  4. Will D. Bruce bring in the "three play" gimmick?

  5. I like 95.7's new commercials going after KNBR...not quite for the jugular like they should- with F&B to lampoon,95.7 has easy pickings-just more generic poking fun at KNBR's bogus " best sports station in the universe" motto.
    Now that Radnich is only 50% of his time slot..can his ego handle that?

  6. Darya is wearing a dress that maybe doesnt have gold "buttons" ala Christina Loren..but curious strategically placed thin stripes. One each side. It's drawing my attention I will tell you that...

  9. Damon Bruce is a GIANT asshole, with a huge ego. Good luck on the SS Titanic. At least he'll have some actual listeners once again instead of being on radio Siberia!
