Sporting News: Oh No. We Suck Again.
Looks like one of my favorites Tony Bruno is off the air again. He may not be the best company employee but he’s one of the funniest guys on the radio. Here’s the scoop:
Sporting News Radio has parted ways with Tony Bruno (photo, right), which means that Bay Area radio has lost one of its better morning shows — albeit one that was heard locally via syndication on a second-tier sports station.
Bruno’s show was heard on KNBR/1050 (and Sirius Sports 123) and was simply a fun, entertaining, smart show, whether you’re into sports or not. I’m one of many who believe that Bruno’s daily 10 AM segment with Gary Radnich on mothership KNBR/680 was the best half-hour on radio, day in and day out, bar none.
Sporting News Radio and Bruno had been involved in negotiations for a contract extension, but could not reach an agreement. Bruno will remain with company — “working with management on other initiatives,” according to AllAccess.com — while under contract for two more months.
Sad news, to be sure. Here’s the official SNR press release. Here’s hoping Bruno can get on the radio in some form somewhere again. And - a pox on his ex-wife!.
