For many of Israel's sports enthusiasts, who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s, Roni Daniel was not just a senior military commentator and scholar. He is also identified with his second (and perhaps first) love - basketball. Even before the era of live television broadcasts began, he presented the program "One on One" on the B network, in which the games of the National League, the senior league at the time, were broadcast in the format of the client from "Songs and Goals".



The children, youth and soldiers from those days well remember the situation. Once a week, on Monday at 8:30 PM, they clung to the transistor devices and listened to a head-to-head battle: Network B gave the mythological signal from the song Cacharpaya by the incontinence band, and the IDF waves played the opening from Bob James' Courtship. Front between two charismatic facilitators and full of sympathy for Hapoel Tel Aviv: on the one hand, Daniel, and on the other hand, the late Eli Israeli. They cruised between the broadcast crews in the various halls, presented quizzes and various corners,And made the experience of listening to league games special and different.



Radio people from that period were shocked today (Monday) when they heard about Daniel's sudden death at the age of 73. "Roni brought with him a new and original approach to broadcasting," broadcaster Yoav Aviv recalled.

"In contrast to the tie-dyed style that was then in Kol Yisrael, he put in a nonchalant, light-hearted and humorous tone, not committed, not according to the rules of the ceremony. .

"He had all kinds of special demands, which he would not compromise on," says producer Atamna and Hebi. "For example, he always made sure that in the main game of the cycle would be the strongest broadcast team, no matter where it takes place. He wanted us to bring interviewees at the end of each game. Today it sounds basic and obvious, but in an age where there were no cell phones, we found ourselves breaking Every once in a while, where do you bring people from? "



"You could say he simply demanded a broadcast wrapped up, invested and polished in 360 degrees," veteran broadcaster Gideon Hod defines it. "We always brought the coaches at the end, and we talked to them live, so that the experience would go through in full and it would really be 'one on one.'



"One day Roni demanded that we pay attention to the exact names of the actors," recalls Maariv journalist Tzachi Noga, who was then on the broadcasting team.

"I started reading Hapoel Jerusalem's quintet: Adi Gordon, Doron Shefa, Shalom Turgeman ... and he stopped me in the middle of the broadcast: 'Shalom Turgeman? Who is it? I don't know such a thing.' I replied that it was the exact name, according to "His name is Pepi, it's more accurate," he replied. "

Daniel was 43 years old when he started presenting "One on One", and even then he was considered a veteran, experienced and respected journalist. The IDF was then immersed in the Lebanese mud, and as the military correspondent of Kol Yisrael he did not enjoy unnecessary leisure time; and yet, when he took over the direction of the broadcaster, he did not give it up.



Noga: Only during turbulent times right on the northern border, when there was no choice, would he turn the stage to Oren Rosenstein. And the radio executives flowed with him. He was a military man, but just loved basketball and also understood the game. He had a short thread, and he would argue with the commentators on the broadcast. "



Hebi: "When people made mistakes in the broadcast, it would drive him crazy. One day he came to the radio studios in the Kirya in Tel Aviv, and wanted to shop in the adjacent parking lot. The guard at the entrance was from Gaza, and he did not know Roni. He did not help anything. "I have a broadcast, I am a journalist here, I am a military reporter, and the guard did not let him in. Luckily I went through there and updated him on who it was, so he came in on time and managed to arrive."

"Ronny shouted 'Start broadcasting from Mickey's room, we have no line!'".

Noga: "His light-hearted attitude was contagious. Once, in a game between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Bnei Herzliya, the commentator next to me on the field talked about the player who took the ball in the penetration in front of the double up, and threw all kinds of concepts in English. "My mother-in-law will understand, so he was offended and got up from the position and came back only in the half. But Roni could not really insult anyone. Even when he was angry, it was in friendships. It was a supreme value in his eyes."



Hood: "My talent joined the sports broadcasts, it was after he was already in charge of the news division. I will not forget a game in the mid-80s, when the Israeli team was hosted in Czechoslovakia. We sent the late Meir Einstein to the field, and there were problems with the broadcast line. We sat with our late Miki Gordos in Tel Aviv, who managed to connect to the television broadcast that was not recorded in Israel at all. Roni shouted at me 'Gideon, start broadcasting from Mickey's room, we have no line with Meir!' And so I did. People were in shock. Did not understand if I was here or there, and in general, how I manage to watch the game from the country. "



How was Roni Daniel signing the transmitter of his life?



Noga:" First of all, he would open it in a quick round from the pitches, with the fives and the referees, and he would not stop any broadcast in the middle of his speech. "



Aviv: "And we will say goodbye in its canceling, light and ordinary way. "Well, okay, we heard you," he would say.
