What a great man. I hope he knows how much joy he brought so many. Tuna and Steele... the best.

That voice is golden.

What a career he had. From KHJ to KBIG and finally KRTH.

Charlie Tuna was one of the greatest DJs!!! He was also one of my favorites!!! I absolutely loved him!!! Those were the days when we had KRLA and K-earth played oldies!!! Now I don't even listen to radio!!! My stations are gone and so are my DJs!!

I miss him when he was on KHJ LA radio!!!!!

Charlie Tuna was the announcer for America's Top 10 and Scrabble in the 80s, among other TV shows.

Real professionals wear shirts and Ties on the air respect!

Wow!! Look at all those people live and local there. Now you're lucky if there's one person at the station and then it's only for morning and afternoon drive. This is how radio should be

So true. I was a DJ for almost 40 years. When I retired at 65 from a 7 station cluster in 2017 there were only 8 live DJ’s for all 7 stations. All other shifts were syndicated or voice tracked. (Per- recorded).

Amen brutha', total agreement with you! 👍

Tonight I’m missing him so much! 💔 #BackToThe70sWithCharlieTuna was my favourite. I was so bummed when I found out he passed... His voice is unlike any other radio host.

He was on Armed Forces Radio in Europe. RIP Charlie.

bitchhhhhh, *HE IS MISSED*

Charlie Tuna kept me going during the mid to late mornings when I was in the military in Europe for most of 1979 -89.

Excellent recording. Well done. I have received USA AM reception via DX on 1110kHz here in Melbourne Australia, though not KRLA. I actually heard KFAB Omaha.

What an awesome guy, I will miss you Charlie Tuna.

one of the best used to listin to him every Saturday night until our staion went country Miss you Charlie!!!

He was the announcer for Scrabble game show.

Rest in peace, Charlie. 👍 😁

For the record, that Raiders-Oilers game happened on October 26, 1986. RIP, Charlie.

Wow Jillian Harris’ voice was amazing too!

Charlie Tuna was the guest announcer on the February 26, 2016 episode of Celebrity Bucket Kickers.

Rest in Peace, Charlie.

And he wore a tie on radio!!! He was the best.

This sure brings back memories! KRLA was an AM station in LA...

LEGEND!

Reminds me that KRLA was the "go to" station for oldies on am radio before KRTH.

Thank you. Good video and sound.

It took my a second to realize this wasn't the Starkist Tuna cartoon. RIP Charlie

Wow...that Jillian Harris (sp?) is good! I'm impressed. :)

That's what I thought!

And nobody wears ties in radio anymore :)

At the time he also was announcing Scrabble

RIP

I listened to Charlie Tuna on KOMA I was disappointed when he left.

In just a few short years all those tape cartridges would be replaced by hard disk cart machines, designed in part by ME! RIP Charlie.

I was a fan of AFRTS RADIO shows cos I lived in Caimanera, near the Naval Yankee Base in Guantanamo, all a privilege, where I used to listen several radio shows with a different good DJs, one of them, the great Charlie!. I'd need to know about a jingle from a show that I have on my mind, but don't get to know the name of that show back then, I was a child then... I have recorded (with my voice) as that jingle sounded, how to send it to you to see if you recognize the name of that show pls? Thanks so much for sharing this cos I was a fan of the 3 biggest DJs for me: Casey Kasem, Shadoe Stevens and Charlie Tuna!

Different America ...

Whatever happen to Mucho, Mucho Morales?

Carts! carts! carts!

Was this during his tenure on Scrabble?

Kick that guy out of the rooml

If this is "morning" he's pathetic at it. The guy had no sense of humor but desperately acts like he has one.

You're pathetic. He was one of the top DJs of all time and was good enough to be given years at the #1 station in the country for years in the #1 market and was noticed there to be given several nationwide TV shows. He wasn't even a comedian or don't you even know the difference? You've obviously got a narrow sense of humor.

It lacks personality. Not my cup of radio.
