WHAT the hell is going on. I am so upset at not hearing you in the morning on K-Big. I don’t care for the new format, most of the music is so blah. I need the uplifting music like before. The DJs are the heart and soul of the station and you are the biggest part of this. As a loyal listener you need two things to make a radio station work, the DJs and the music. With you gone I am searching for another station. I loved hearing you. There’s not enough uplifting music. Plus no DISCO.

Like I said I’m searching for another station.

Thank You for all those great mornings. Please let us know where you go. I need my Charlie Tuna in the morning.

Charlie,
I moved to Southern California in 2006. Since that time, I listened to you and the morning show everyday as I drove to work. I was fortunate enough to speak with you last February when I was one of the winners of the “mac-a-day give-away” for my SuperStar kids…..

As I was traveling…..I guess I didn’t really realize that your show was ending…..and I was surprised (and saddened) to not have your familiar voice on my radio. I know that you have been a very motivational and influential person in the LA area and all of So-Cal and I hope that you will be back.

Thank you for the year and a half of good listening I really enjoyed your show.

Thanks again..

Hi Charlie,

I first remember listening to you on KKDJ (Pre KIIS-FM) waaay back in the 70s. In fact I was listening when the station “married” with KIIS-AM remember that? When you returned to LA I gritted my teeth and listened to you on that scratchy AM station and was so happy when you became the KBIG morning guy.

Best of luck to you and know that wherever you go next, if I can hear it, I will be there.

Thanks for so many years being a part of the soundtrack to my life.

Eugene

Hey Charlie,

I get an opportunity, to send you an email, although under Sad circumstances for you and us at home.

I have been listening to your show every morning since you started at KBig 104 – I am an New American so I cant say I have heard you for years.

Now it seems as though there is a VOID in my Early Morning – which I must Say Happened quite Suddenly.

As we all Know – Big Business, Either they don’t like what you said or the ratings are down or the Internet website was not getting enough hits – so they make a Corporate Decision – to oust you.

What happened to the days when you could almost start your own station? Sometimes Lawmakers can get in the way of what’s good for the people – and its always about MONEY.

Good luck – I am sure you will pop up somewhere good – as Cream always rises to the top.

This is the night for tricks and treats, and today a bunch of treats for you, beginning with Halloween trivia!

The Legend of Jack O’Lantern:

According to Irish folklore . . . A man named Jack, well known for his drunkenness and quick temper got very drunk at a local pub on All Hallows Eve. He met the Devil outside the pub because the Devil wanted his soul. Jack asked him one more drink but he didn’t have the money to pay. So the Devil took the shape of a coin and Jack put it into his wallet that had a cross-shaped catch. Jack agreed to free the Devil under one condition: he should let him live for another year. The Devil accepted. First Jack was good then he slipped back into his evil ways. The following year the Devil reappeared and asked Jack to accompany him. Jack told the Devil to take an apple from a tree; when the Devil climbed up, Jack carved a cross on the tree and the Devil was trapped again. This time Jack asked the Devil ten more years of life in exchange for his freedom: again the Devil had to accept. Unfortunately Jack died almost a year later. In paradise he was not accepted. In hell, the Devil recognized him and refused him admission; but, since he wasn’t so bad, he gave Jack a piece of coal to help him find his way in the dark of limbo. Jack put the piece of coal into a turnip and it became known as “Lack O’Lantern”. On All Hallows Eve you can still see Jack’s flame burning as he searches for a home. The Irish used to carve turnips or beets as lanterns and use them on Halloween night as festival lights. When they emigrated to the USA, they brought their traditions with them: they couldn’t find turnips in America but they found a lot of pumpkins which were suitable substitutes to make a Jack O’Lantern; since then, pumpkins are an essential part of Halloween celebrations

On today’s “Tuna Clips”, an online game with the Mystical Ball and more Halloween Trivia, plus the late Vampire Researcher, Dr. Stephen Kaplan from a 1986 interview where he claims California has the most real life Vampires!!! More new emails in the “Tuna Talkback” link and I’ll leave you with another one of those games you’ll be playing all day on your computer. Just click on this link!

I have been a fan of yours for years and I never write or call in, but this time I had to write and vent my feelings! I no longer listen to your radio station unless they put you back on. It was so sad when Leanne was let go because I thought the two you were so fantastic with each other and played off each other so easily, like you knew what the other one was thinking. It was hard at first when she was gone but you were the main reason I listened.

My drive to work is always at least one hour if not more. You are what made that station and they are fools! I loved that you always gave some kind of information or facts each day that were great to hear about, some of my family calls me a “techno weenie” because I always want to know about everything and read a lot and think you are the same way.

What ever happens will be for the best. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing where your new life adventure takes you. Take a nice vacation, take your kids and have some quality fun!

Thanks for all the great talk,
Patty Blair

P.S. My husband is in construction and has his radio on to you every morning starting at 5am and he has changed channels. He wishes you well too (Rick Blair)

Hi Charlie – I’ve been listening to you on KBIG for years now. I’m really saddened by their decision to drop your morning show. It was always one of the highlights of my day…listening to you and the crew as I drove into work.

I’m really not happy with the radio station now…their music selection also seems really odd. But, most of all, I miss your cheerful voice in the morning. I guess the ride to work just won’t be the same until you’re back on the air.

Until then, I’m not going to listen to KBIG anymore…the music is disappointing now and without my favorite radio host, then what’s the point.

Good luck with future endeavors…let us know where you end up next. You’re missed.

Best,
Kevin
