Chasta Upped To PD of KSAN/SF
• Cumulus keeps it in the family and promotes Chasta Michaelis to Program Director of Classic Rock KSAN (107.7 The Bone)/San Francisco. She will retain her existing dual on-air roles as a member of the Lamont & Tonelli morning show and The Bone’s midday personality.
Larry Blumhagen, VP/Market Manager of Cumulus San Francisco, said, “I’m beyond excited to have Chasta moving into this new role. Her passion and connection to both The Bone and the Bay Area is exceptional, and her enthusiasm and vision will take an already strong station to even higher levels.”
Prior to joining Lamont & Tonelli in 2012, Michaelis worked for Metro Networks in San Francisco, following four years as on-air talent for Westwood One. She has also been heard on KRTH (K-Earth 101), KSPN, KFWB and KABC/Los Angeles. In her not-so-spare time Michaelis also hosts and produces the Rock Your Life and Soundwaves TV.
“I’m honored to be at the helm of such an iconic station and thrilled to build upon the legacy of the KSAN call letters,” Michaelis said. “I will continue to focus on building our rock ‘n roll community in the Bay Area and providing a rockin’ place for our Bonehead Family to hang. Thank you to Larry Blumhagen and everyone at Cumulus Media for putting their faith in me.” Michaelis succeeds former Bone PD Dominic “Zakk” Zaccagnini, who exited in June.
