NOTES: Radnich' contract at KRON4 expires at the end of the year and industry insiders tell me the Young Broadcasting outlet, in dire economic straits, will not have the financial resources available to offer Radnich anything close to his current deal. Which might explain why Radnich has been touting his future 49ers Comcast Sportsnet post-game show with Willie Brown....KTVU's Mark Ibanez re-upped for a new three-year deal at the Fox affiliate in June...
