Be sure to check out The Bee's Scene section on Tuesday for Media Savvy's take on why - on weeknights - most of our local stations essentially blow off sportscasts. (Short answer: ESPN and the Internet.)
Ah, but on weekends, the stations ramp up the coverage; full details will be in Tuesday's story. But we can tell you that former "Good Day Sacramento" sportscaster Gary Gelfand (pictured) has been hired to co-host (with Arran Andersen) on Channel 13's new half-hour sports wrap-up shows on Saturday and Sunday nights. The shows debut after the late news on Sept. 30.
Gelfand spouted sports for seven years at Channel 31, gaining notoriety for always wearing shorts on-air. He also had a two-year gig as a talking head at CNN. He currently is the voice of the Sacramento Harness Racing Association (hence our pun in the headline).
