Cosma and Banciu were colleagues at Sport.ro, almost 20 years ago.

Ioana Cosma to Radu Banciu: “Come on, you know them all! He got up and left me alone in the show”

“It will certainly talk about this aspect. I am very dear to me, I love it, I love it! I am very dear, a very smart, smart, talented guy. And on a break I said, “Come on, you know them all!” He got up and left. He left me alone in the plateau. He put his lavaliera on the table and left me alone, lonely.

I finally removed it. The colleagues have taken a phone call, I don't remember exactly, but I gave something. Anyway, I can talk 10 minutes without repeating myself, it comes from experience. I repeat, I love Radu, he is my former colleague ”, said Ioana Cosma, and in the context in which Banciu talked about her recently.

Ioana Cosma looked at me with her blue, big eyes, and she was so pupils. He was staring at me that because of me he forgot where the discussion came. She was attentive to these things. Beautiful as she was, Fardea was the most beautiful woman in the world! When he looked at you, you felt like a guest that stepped on the bulb

Ioana Cosma: “In 20 years I no longer see the strong television”

Also during the GSP Podcast, Ioana Cosma discussed the gradual move of the press, from TV to online.

“Of course, the online is the future, absolute. Television I see it strong for over 10 years, but not over 20, no. Look, Premier League has been bought by Pro and will only be delivered online. Somehow the classic television, the mainstream, no longer has the same impact.

The press has changed. Let me give you an example. In 1998, 2000, in the newsroom, every evening, at Pro, we were beautiful on chairs and had 3 TVs in front, data on TVR, Antena 1 and ProTV. If we escaped something on Rapid, the team I answered 8 years old, just a head to me. I would have made small, small, to get under the table. Today, a news news appears online and in the second second it is in the whole press.

I do not say that the press today is worse and that what we were doing was extraordinary. The times have changed, the content has changed. Today, exclusivity almost died“, Said Ioana Cosma.

Ioana Cosma, two anthological moments on TV:

“2 to 1”

Ioana Cosma, two anthological moments on TV: “I got off the live chair, MM was in the studio …” + The famous character who caused a laugh: “My mascara was flowing!”

“Several times I have proposed money from the people in football. How did I react?”

Asked if a sum of money from a football man was ever proposed, Ioana replied firmly:

Several times, yes. Drăgălășenie. At a match played in the country, not in Bucharest, I did the interviews, I finished my job and someone came to me: «For you and your operator colleague, $ 300, take something nice». I got stuck! “I don't want to, you can't!” “No, no, you get a perfume, something.” “No, please, I feel stupid.” It was a circus, panarama. I remember this. It happened in '98, '99. Obviously they had an interest, they wanted to force you to be more gentle in the future. “
