The KMEL family has lost innovative mix master and creative titan Cameron Paul. Cameron was an instrumental contributor to the huge success KMEL achieved in the late 80s and into the 90s. Cameron lives on in the work that he left behind. Thank you Cameron!

The KMEL family has lost broadcast pioneer and founder of Charter Broadcasting Howard Grafman. Howard was at the helm of the company during the most successful days of KMEL as an album rock leader in the Bay Area and during the flip to Top 40 and it's later market dominance. Thank you for all of your contributions to KMEL!
