Longtime Bay Area radio personality Lamont Hollywood has exited KSAN-FM (107.7 The Bone) San Francisco, ending a 37-year run on the air as Cumulus Media continues a round of cutbacks and restructuring.

Hollywood announced his departure in a Facebook post, attributing the move to "corporate restructuring and severe cutbacks at Cumulus." He indicated that he plans to continue his show independently and is already working on bringing it to a new platform.

"While this chapter on the radio dial is closing, our story is far from over," Hollywood wrote. "Moving to an independent platform will give me total creative control, zero corporate meddling, and direct ownership of the show."

Hollywood first teamed with Paul Tonelli at KSJO/San Jose in 1989, beginning a partnership that would become a fixture of Bay Area morning radio. The pair spent 14 years at KSJO before moving "Lamont & Tonelli" to The Bone in 2003.

Hollywood and Tonelli exited KSAN in November 2024, ending their initial 21-year run at the Classic Rock outlet. Hollywood returned to the station in January 2025 with a revamped morning program, "The Lamont Show," alongside KSAN Program Director Chasta Michaelis and Danny "Baby Huey" Delmore. Tonelli did not return.

A native of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Hollywood began his radio career in Canada, including morning duties at CITI-FM, before eventually making his way to the Bay Area.

Hollywood stressed that his departure from KSAN does not mark his retirement, telling listeners, "This isn't a final goodbye-it's a deep, heartfelt thank you, and a promise that the best is yet to come."
