Radnich offers little in the way of insight on what's going on. He does a nice interview but doesn't really seemed that interested in sports. The snappy patter and light jokes seem to be his stock in trade. Bruno uses a lot of schtick too, but he at least seems to know and care about sports. Putting them together? Not a bad idea. Would 'The Game' try it? What have they got to lose. Still, with their weak signal, it would be tough making a dent on KNBR's ratings.
