Gino D

Hey, it’s Gino D! Originally from New Hampshire but now proud to call Chattanooga home. Music and pop culture are my passions, and I’m thrilled to share that love with you every weekday from 2 pm to 7 pm on The Afternoon Show on Hits 96.

In 2023, I was honored to receive the Best Radio Personality Award from The Tennessee Association of Broadcasters.

Connecting with amazing artists and sharing their stories with you is one of my favorite parts of the job. When you tune in, you can expect non-stop fun with games, giveaways, pop culture news, food news, and more.

Living in Chattanooga is a blast, and being “LIVE and LOCAL” with you all makes it even better. Your energy and support are what drive me, and I’m committed to bringing joy to your day.

Let’s stay connected! You can find me on Facebook at facebook.com/ginodradio, Instagram @ginodradio, or drop me an email at gino@wdodradio.com — your thoughts and shout outs truly make my day!

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of interviewing some incredible guests, from chart-toppers to local musicians, and I can’t wait to see who’ll be stopping by next!

When I’m not on the radio, I’m part of the Improv Comedy Troupe in town—Improv Chattanooga—hosting and performing in shows all over the area. Come out and laugh with me!

Thanks for riding with me on this radio adventure. Together, we’ll keep the good vibes flowing, live life to the fullest, and make every moment count!
