Remembering Southern California radio legend, former KLOS DJ Geno Michelini

I held off reporting this while waiting for confirmation… and also because I was hoping it wasn’t true. Alas, his friends haveBorn Theodore Eugene Dunmire, Michelini was the son of a fighter pilot who fought in World War II and the Korean War. The military family lifestyle — moving to different bases often different states — helped him prepare for his radio career, which often meant moving from station to station and city to city.

He eventually ended up in the Philippines, where he started his broadcast career: a DJ for Armed Forces Radio transmitting from Clark Air Force Base. This experience led him to enroll in the famous Don Martin School of Broadcasting after he left the military, courtesy of the G.I. Bill. It was at KOME in San Jose that his on-air name evolved into Geno Michelini, done because station programmer Mikel Hunter told him he needed a name with more “pizzazz.” After six years there, he moved to San Francisco’s KMEL, staying until the station dropped album rock in favor of top-40., a segment that helped promote and expose local comedians to the huge KLOS audience.
