BAY AREA SPORTSCASTER GARY RADNICH BLOWS UP AT ANCHORWOMAN OVER SPACE JAM (Video):

KRON-TV San Francisco sports anchor Gary Radnich has gone viral for his reporting, but not how he’d have liked.

Rather than breaking news or moving features, Radnich has found fame for his on-air outburst after colleague Catherine Heenan stole a “sports story” from him — the casting of LeBron James in the upcoming “Space Jam” sequel.

“We should tell you LeBron James is going to star in ‘Space Jam,’” Radnich said as he wrapped up coverage of the Giants’ game.

“We actually — oh, are you mad ’cause I already read that?” Heenan responded.

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

But the lecture didn’t end there, as Radnich continued to berate Heenan for reporting the casting instead of leaving the “sports news” to him.

As Ace writes, Radnich suffered a real “Anchorman Moment: Champ Kind Blows His Stack After Veronica Corningstone Reads His News.”

To the best of my knowledge Radnich is — was? — little known outside of the Bay Area, but news of his spat made it all the way to Australia today. Not to mention Hot Air, where Allahpundit posits one of his trademarked exit questions: “What does this affiliate do when one of the Bay Area teams wins a championship? Do they let Radnich announce it at the top of the broadcast or do they let — gulp — her break the news?
