Who knew the Texans' radio broadcast team could get worse?
The Chronicle's David Barron reports on a new addition to the Texans' poor radio broadcast team:
After working dozens of pregame and postgame shows for all manner of sports during two decades on Houston radio, Rich Lord finally makes it to the field this fall as sideline reporter for Texans games on KILT (610 AM).
Lord, KILT's longtime afternoon drive-time host, will deliver on-air contributions and off-air updates to the play-by-play team of Marc Vandermeer and Andre Ware. Lord also will handle postgame interviews.
"I've done it all in pregame and postgame, but this is the first time I've been part of the game broadcast," Lord said. "I hope to bring to the broadcast what I bring to the (afternoon show), which is the ability to have fun and be informative and entertaining."
Lord's previous role will be filled by Adam Wexler, who — with Matt Jackson — will host the Countdown to Kickoff and Fan Feedback shows. Dave Harbison and other KILT hosts also will contribute.
And that's how a bad broadcast team gets worse.
There is one positive, though. Lord, who is notorious for never attending local sports events despite commenting on them on the radio, will actually now be forced to attend a minimum of 16 regular-season sports events involving a Houston team this year. That may eclipse his total for the last decade!
