Geronimo Sets Radio Retirement Date - 7/10 - A DCRTV exclusive. DCRTV hears from a very very very very reliable source that Don Geronimo's last day doing "The Don And Mike Show" on the DC area's WJFK-FM and dozens of syndicated stations from Sacramento to Miami will be May 30, 2008. We're told that the DC "radio god," whose real name is Michael Sorce, gave official one-year notice to his employer, CBS Radio, on May 30, 2007. We attempted to confirm this on-the-record with Geronimo but received no response. We're told that the May 2008 date is a bit "earlier out" than what Geronimo's current contract calls for. No word about what partner Mike O'Meara's radio plans are after May 2008. Geronimo, 48, grew up in Rockville and has been in the radio biz since his teens, having worked at WPGC as well as Chicago's WLS and LA's KIIS. He and O'Meara have been doing their "zoo" show for just over 20 years, starting out in mornings at then "top 40" WAVA in Arlington.....

I'd feel insulted if I were them, they called them a "Zoo" show. That's not factually accurate.

At least the term "SHOCK JOCK" didn't come up.

Even I'm bored hating them at this point. Everyone here gets it.

If they guy's going to retire after such a long time in radio, then so be it. Seems to me he's been through a lot recently with his wife dying and some sort of contract disputes I remember reading about.

I blame that duh duh de duh sound effect played every 30 seconds and the 50$ sound mixer chamber echo they run the entire show's audio through. Drove him crazy, had to leave.

I never got why they did that, even if it was interesting it made it entirely unlistenable.

Geronimo To XM? - 7/12 - From someone who probably show know, in DCRTV's 7/12 Mailbag: Don Geronimo, who'll be leaving his nationally syndicated WJFK-FM show at the end of May 2008, "has definitely already got a deal with XM." Geronimo has frequently jested on his show that he's been talking to the DC-based satellite radio firm and its NYC rival, Sirius. To XM 202 ?
