Gary Radnich announces date for final KNBR show

Veteran sports-talk host hints at 'future plans' with the radio station

Three days after he announced his so-called “retirement” from KNBR-680 (AM), Gary Radnich continues to communicate via rather vague tweets.

In his latest social media message, the popular sportscaster revealed the date and time for his “final show,” and added that he will announce “any future plans with KNBR then.”

Future plans with the station? What could they possibly be? A call and email from this publication to Radnich have gone unanswered.

Final Show Friday 11-1 p.m…Will announce any future plans with #KNBR then. Thank you again everyone for your interest.

Over the weekend, we learned that both Radnich and Fitzgerald — both longtime KNBR fixtures — no longer have programs on the Cumulus sports-talk station. On Monday, Cumulus released a new program schedule that includes the addition of Greg Papa, formerly of 95.7 (FM) The Game. Papa and John Lund will headline the mid-morning slot that had belonged to Radnich and Larry Krueger.

The changes become effective on July 16, Cumulus said.

Krueger, who on Monday dedicated an emotional program celebrating the legacy of Radnich, will remain at the station as part of a three-person afternoon program. His co-hosts will be Rod Brooks and Tom Tolbert. Brooks had spent the past several years paired with Fiztgerald.
