SF Bay Area: Who's Your Favorite TV Sports Anchor? Wednesday Opener

  1. It's certainly not Radnich, who's often at a loss (unless it's about LeBron or the Giants) and frequently relies on Darya for sports updates and stats.

  2. I'll go Richard Pryor in Brewster's Millions: "None of the Above."

    Andy Rooney was a nice touch. I would have loved to see him do three minutes of scores and highlights.

    1. Really! "You stay classy, Bay Area!"

  4. What about Mike Shumann!

  5. With ESPN, Comcast Sports Bay Area, Bleacher Report, local sports anchors are an anachronism.

  6. If local sports wanted to be more relevant, they'd focus on college and top high school teams.

  7. I have a question. Why do stations pay big bucks for sports anchor these days? Seriously, for 3 minutes of reading a few scores they get 6 figures!! Sports on local news these days can't possibly move the needle much, if at all, to justify the costs.

      Shu's good, too.

  12. O'Donnell, Bach, and Ibanez. Randy Hahn did a great job while subbing at PIX a few years ago. All-Time favorite: Wayne Walker

    1. Weather women are more fun to watch. Radnich looks like a cherub with cheeks only a grandma could love.

  16. I think as a team Larry Beil and Mike Shumann on ABC7 are the best in town and it's not even close. Think about it:

    Dennis O'Donnell and Vern Glenn: A has been and a never was.
    Ibanez and whoever else is there: Really?
    Radnich: Come on!

  17. Boy, Andy Rooney was ugly. Ahmed Fareed is likable and professional. Dennis O'Donnell is funny, as is Vernon Glenn. Fred Inglis is likable too.

  18. Ibanez is the worst.

  19. Stu Nahan? I know he wasn't in this market, but even deceased, he's a damn side better than these putzes. But I guess that's why you included Andy Rooney.

    How about moving Jackie Bennett to sports? She's a big hockey fan. She'd do a better job that Mr. Mail-It-In.

    1. Are these photos bigger than they were or have their egos just expanded to make them look that way?

  20. Radnich is great TV. An all around personality who is fun to watch because you never know what he'll say next. The Bay Area does have great sportscasters in Vern, Dennis, Mark and Shu.

  21. The above was obviously written by Radnich's wife...

    Radnich is a waste of time ... "where's the remote" when he comes on.

  22. Know you asking about now but historically in the San Francisco DMA/ADI Wayne Walker was light years better than any of his competition back then and even now. He had the best writers, best producers, and boy could he deliver ... A real talent not to be forgotten ..

  23. Who is the second man down, wearing a green tie. He is unexpectedly handsome,,,,, not that that should matter, of course.
