Steve Aveson and Gary Radnich are essentially tuning one another out...not on-air mind you but since he's (Raddy) been back from vacation, Aveson once again will throw to Rad man even though he hates his guts!Why? Because Radnich thinks everyone is in on his party even though clearly, many are not.
At KRON, Aveson is one of those.
Time for Raddy to retire.
ReplyDeleteBefore Steve goes to war with Gary, he might want to have a talk with Cathernie Heenan first. Gary is like a cat with nine lives. It seems like even the higher ups are afraid of dealing with Gary. Ask Catherine, again.
ReplyDeleteDon't know why penny-pinching KRON is so protective or Raddy. For a third of his salary or less they could get someone who knows sports and ACTUALLY GOES TO THE GAMES!
DeleteDetails at 11.
DeleteThe only thing I'd throw to Tardnich is his bounced credit card he uses to pay for the pizza & hookers. Cheap Bastard.
ReplyDeleteWatched Rad for the first time in at least 5 years last night. The same exact tired schtick. Besides,he really doesn't know anything about sports. "he's lived a little"
ReplyDeleteI predict that many folks will miss Radnich's schtick after he is gone, at least I will.
ReplyDeleteLike last night? When Radnich kept saying he wanted to kiss Steve Aveson "Right on the lips"..not once or twice..but three times. Aveson rolled with it at first,by the third time he said nothing.
ReplyDeleteWhats scary is ..Radnich wasn't convincing that he meant platonic kisses...
They ought to get rid of Radnich....He's been there waaay to long....other anchors I don't mind, but he is just a bore....would never get away with this at other local stations. Compare his with other sportscasters and he will be at the bottom.....
ReplyDeleteOnly reason he stays at KRON 4 is because he gets another salary from KNBR radio....and furthermore, KRON keeps him because no other person would want to be the "head sportscaster" at KRON.
Like it or not, KRON keeps him because he's the biggest sports TV news personality in the market. Even though he's not hugely paid at KRON anymore, Radnich stays on because he can do whatever he wants and gets by far more air time any of the sports guys on other channels.
ReplyDeleteKRON is terrible. I am not sure why anyone watches or would watch. Simply the worst newscast in the bay area and maybe west of the Rockies. They have better newscasts in Salinas. And by better I mean fewer on-air mistakes and higher quality journalism. KRON's stories are so simplistic in nature. No investigation, no original reporting...and often times only tells one side of the story.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of the Rockies, have ya even seen the KPIX Morning News, especially their Traffic Reporter?????
DeleteKRON is terrified to deal with G-Rad because there is a lawsuit on the horizon just like The Razor did to KNBR.
ReplyDeleteOr he knows where all the bodies are buried. It's like Lorne Michaels of Saturday Night Live. Awful shows for decades, and yet still has a job. Knowing where the bodies are buried is the only explanation that makes sense.
DeleteIs Radnich sick like Barbieri? That was the reason for the lawsuit. California's an at-will state and if there's no outright discrimination, I think they'd be okay.
DeleteOnly- Radnich on knbr toes the line. If they tell him get his ass to San Jose to host the RV event of the year- he goes. KRON can't get him to cover the World Series,NBA finals..or even a single game in any sport. For KNBR,he's at Giant fanfest. KRON? no time for Stanley Roberts returning from a stroke.
DeleteHis hate and contempt for fellow KRONers is open and hostile. At KNBR,its only for the little people he vents on. THEY,he treats like uppity KNBRgros wanting more for nothing.
Tom? Bob? all greatest guys on Earth he says.
Cumulus he fears..KRON is spoiled Gary and his plaything people.
This is Pero's fault - his girlfriend likes her little morning gig laughing it up with Radnich, showing off the fake donuts. If KRON had true management that knew what it was doing Radnich would have been gone a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteSomething might be in the wind related to all of the above.
ReplyDeleteAveson last night at 10 "Lodes took his son TO the Giants game" then added curiously "I'm just say'in"..THAT was a dig at never go to games,Gary Radnich.
ReplyDeleteThe way you know you hit a nerve on that guy? He pretends he doesn't hear it or doesn't get it. But he got it.
Again a Aveson zing last night with a twist. Radnich told a story he probably made up of giving a begging brother $20 and then the guys says "You're Gary Radnich,it should have been $100"..picture him giggling as he said that.
ReplyDeleteSteve Aveson : "He must be a stand up comic"...Radnich for some reason snarled back,"Yeah,sure, and go giants,".Angry.The he launched the sports just like that.
Now,I wonder if he thought Steve said "YOU must be a stand up comic"..or if he just hates hearing the phrase stand up comic?
But I do know Mark Carpenter and Aveson did two weeks of no zinging.No problemo's.
Radnich is acting like he's trying to get fired, and has been for several years...
ReplyDeleteMore? Today in the "This figures department": Radnich "My wife loves Getty and Armstong".
ReplyDeleteHis wife is a right winger. I knew that already,but it just adds to her obnoxious ways...
Radnich new comeback to critics? "I think to myself,would I rather be me or the guy writing about me?".
ReplyDeletehey- good one!..Hitler said, and Charles Manson and even Martin Shkreli say the same thing! All had fans,or money and power that critics dont have..clunk.
