K-Earth and Charlie Tuna

Charlie,

I am very happy for you, this is wonderful news. I was even more excited to know that I didn’t have to change radio stations because I had settled on K-EARTH 101 since I couldn’t find anything after leaving 104.3.

Charlie –

It is so good to hear you back on KRTH!! Welcome back, and please don’t leave again. I even made it a point to turn the radio on this past weekend just to listen to you again. I remember listening to on KHJ as a Boss Jock….(of course I will claim I was a small child then (LOL)).

From your "almost" namesake

Hey Charlie: Forty years ago, when I was in grade school and 93 KHJ was in its heyday, you were my favorite Boss Jock. So much in fact that I started using just my first initial “C” in front of the rest of my name. So with my real middle name of “Van” and real last name “Tune”, my classmates started calling me “Charlie Van Tuna.” And that stuck with me. Later, in my career as an automotive journalist and ESPN TV and radio commentator, using “C. Van Tune” always got commented on. You have no idea how many times I’ve been asked if I am related to you. So, I just wanted to say thanks for your unintentional help with the future career of this former 9 year old, way back in 1968.

Best regards,
Van

PS: I would love to have an autographed photo. Just let me know what I need to do.





Always enjoyed your program

KHJ was the first station I found when I moved to LA in the early 70's.

I've always enjoyed your program.

Memories of You

Charlie
As a native from California I have been gone since 1986, I have many memories of riding to work with you. I currently work at WILI AM and I-98.3 with some of the Connecticut legends of morning Radio, Wayne Norman (longest running morning show in the state) and Pete Nichols (on the air for 20 years), but in my heart you’ll always be one of my favorites. From a young girl living in Hacienda Heights and hearing you on KHJ, to driving in from Valencia in the early 80’s and mornings on KISS. Seeing your name brings back a lot of memories. Thank you so much for the memories. I’m glad to hear you are back.

Your first day?

Charlie:

Congratulations on your new gig. When was your first day?

By the way, I signed up as an All Access Member.

Yours,

Wayne Manous


(NOTE TO WAYNE: First day on the air at KRTH for me was Saturday, February 9th. Coincidentally that's the anniversary date of the big Sylmar earthquake in 1971, which I featured the audio from on my debut show. The quake happened just as I was signing on the air at 6 a.m. on 93/KHJ back then.)

Dear Mr. Tuna, I am so happy to hear you are back on the air, I no longer listen to K-Big since you left and I know of many of your Fans that don't either, you were the reason that station was so popular, too bad for them, but Lucky for us at K-Earth, will be listening to you. God Bless You and may you always be on the radio. A Very Happy Fan. Love and Peace Cathy Albertorio

That's great you're back on, and its a oldies station. This is your call, Rock'n' Roll. I tried to sign on for the tour at K-earth and the goodie bag, but i couldn't get through. Best of luck, and if you take requests on the phone, i will give you a call. Take Care "Rock n Roll for ever. Rob


Congratulations Charlie!

Glad you've found a home and a place that appreciates your fine talents. I am definitely listening. I think I remember listening to you on that station when my older brother had it on. Wasn't it KKDJ?

Best of luck to you!
Marla Roth
NOTE TO MARLA: KKDJ-FM was my first FM station I worked for in Los Angeles, when I joined them in 1973 from KROQ-AM, which I helped launch in 1972. KKDJ eventually changed their call letters to KIIS-FM, when I was the Program Director and morning man in the mid 70's. KRTH-FM was KHJ-FM until they changed the call letters in the early 70's.)


Listening to you on KRTH!

Hi Charlie!

WONDERFUL NEWS for your listeners and for KRTH!! I hope they know how lucky they are to have you. It's so good to hear you on radio again, it just wasn't the same without you - TRULY. I'm sure I speak for many many people when I say you're one of the best friends we've never met! We've been through a lot together.

I generally don't listen to the radio on the weekends; now I have a good reason. WELCOME BACK!!

Lois Smith


Been wondering where you were

Charlie !!!
Glad to hear you on K-EARTH radio. Have been wondering where you were.
I've been listening to you off & on since the late sixties. (Course I know we can't be that old) I also was raised in Kearney, Nebr.
Hope to hear what you've been up to and your future plans.

KHJ Boss Jocks

From: Mike Rivers

Charlie,

It's great to see one of the original KHJ Boss Jocks on K-Earth, especially on KHJ's old FM frequency!

Now, if we can get Sam Riddle, Mark Elliot, and Humble Harve over to K-Earth, it would be one heck of a station! (I know, wishful thinking)

Anyway, It's great to have you on K-Earth.

Best regards,
Mike Rivers


More power to you!

Hello Charlie Tuna! I don't know what's happening with Clear Channel but it seems that they've are kicked out the good ones......

First it was Rick Dees, then it was you and Kim Amidon.....I was really surprised !!!

Anyway, I still hate Ryan Seacrest but love Ellen, did not really like Kim much, but love Mark Wallengren....and I only listened to KBIG because of you.....oh well.

Good luck and more power to you! I love Kearth too.

LAURA


WOW!!!!! GREAT TO SEE YOUR BACK ON THE AIR WAVES
