Comments (5) Best Sportscaster - 2006

Gary Radnich

The ever-popular Radnich, 56, who earned his playing chops as a UNLV basketball player during his college days (he was also a young play-by-play announcer for the Ohio State Buckeyes for a time during the Woody Hayes era), is the dean of Bay Area sports broadcasters, having been at KRON-TV (Channel 4) for 21 years. Famous for intentionally showing up on the news set at the last moment (to help keep his largely ad-libbed daily sports shows spontaneous), Radnich has recently been allowed to branch out beyond sports and pontificate about almost anything on his mind, as part of his "The World According to Gary" segment on the 9 p.m. newscast. His gentle (and often hilarious) put-downs of fellow on-air personalities, station management, himself, and even sponsors makes watching him fun for those of us who don't like everything scripted. Mainly, though, we like Radnich because he knows sports. And he should: Besides the TV gig, he hosts a weekday morning call-in show for hard-core sports fans on KNBR-AM 680.
