Bay Area sportscaster Greg Papa made his mid-morning debut on KNBR (680-AM) Tuesday and started off by acknowledging Gary Radnich, the longtime station fixture he’s replacing.
“Gary is the godfather of Bay Area sports-talk radio,” Papa told listeners. “… This is a little daunting. It’s a little like replacing Johnny Carson, or one of the all-time greats. …”
