Gene Burns arrived at KGO in 1995, in the midst of a lengthy radio career that took him from his native New York to stops in Philadelphia, Boston and Florida.
His 16-year run at KGO included a weeknight program featuring his insightful takes on “the issues of the day” and the popular Saturday show, “Dining Around With Gene Burns”.
Let go by KGO in 2011, he signed on with KKSF early in January 2012 but suffered a debilitating stroke that eventually led to his death in May 2013 at the age of 72.
