Gary Radnich will team with fellow KNBR talk-host, Damon Bruce, beginning Monday morning at 9 AM, according to a reliable local broadcast source familiar with the station.
Radnich has been at KNBR since 1992.
Bruce has been at KNBR since October, 2005.

Percentage of truth and reliability ?
ReplyDeleteI think this will work. Eventually Radnich will retire leaving the show to Bruce---
ReplyDeleteAnd the inevitable return of sports talk to that time period.
Do you think that either the BONE or KFOG will flip to Sports Talk/simulcast of KNBR 680 on Monday to counter the re launch of 95.7?
ReplyDeleteWho cares about radio?
ReplyDeleteWonder how this will effect the Tony Bruno segment, which is the only thing on Radnich's show that still has a pulse.

ReplyDeleteI told ya-Monday. SO,I suppose 12-4 on 1050 reverts back to ESPN?
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you all...the new 9-12 is going to be FULL of subliminal hatred of each other. The digs will fly,subtle at first then in a few weeks,who's the old man and who's the present..and Radnich will need all the willpower he has to focus,Bruce all the will power to not say-your bringing THAT up again?..like that.
I bet they've done some trial shows while on "vacation"...
Kate Scott will get the occasonal pat on the head and enough time to just say "I agree" before they cut her off.
Like I said before-Radnich pushed for all this..in his circles a sports lesbian sidekick was almost a sin!
741 Made a good point as to why Bruce would be willing to be second banana-for now. But,also-don't forget-the 9-12 show is televised on Comcast. So Bruce will be getting the exposure he's looking for and sure wasn't getting on 1050 and CB radio.
ReplyDeleteI can only wonder what those two inflated ego's will be whispering to each other on breaks..the warnings..
They won't be Kruke and Kuipe wearing matching glasses and clothes.
What's up with Rads hand? Why does he always hide it?
ReplyDeleteFrank nailed it. If this happens Gary must be on his way out, far too late from someone who claims "you have to get in, and get out."
ReplyDeleteMore sports talk, less who is dating who, who is married to who, my wife, my kids, hip hop, etc.
Should be interesting radio for the first week, two solo acts forced together. Damon is the logical choice for a sports fan and should eventually take over the morning. For less money too, as Gary always states is the driving force of media today.
Damon Bruce and Gary Radnich? Great! Now I have two reasons not to listen from nine till noon!
ReplyDeleteIf Frank is right and Radnich retires that'll be great.... he'll have plenty of time to divorce his wife and come out! Never a more desperately closeted guy have I ever seen!
It won't matter, that station will still suck.
ReplyDeleteRad has fused fingers on left hand that why he always has a paper to cover it you can get a glance on kron of the flipper from time to time
ReplyDeleteIt's an exercise in futility trying to salvage Radnitch's career.
ReplyDeleteAnd this must be a fast desperation move in reaction to 95.7's new team on Aug 1st also. Wouldnt you think KNBR would be advertising the pairing weeks ahead of time? Billboards and that endless KNBR promo on thier own station? So,why mum?
ReplyDeleteAnd it would be Radnich like if this was a farcical "plant" so Radnich can take shots at the blogger who reported a new format..he's done it before.
If this means no more Kate Scott then I'm on board!
ReplyDeleteThe old bloated one who pretends to be a hip young black dude has gotta go! Bring in some new blood, it is about time.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind Gary til he wont shut up about how many fans the Giants would have if they were in 4th place. Who cares how many they would have? That's the kind of subject you bring up when they're losing!
