From Boss Radio to Radio Hall of Fame
Charlie Tuna wasn’t simply another voice on the radio. He was one of the legendary KHJ Boss Jocks who helped define an era when great personalities were every bit as important as the records they played.
Charlie joined 93/KHJ Los Angeles in 1967, becoming part of the legendary Boss Radio lineup. At its peak, KHJ was among the most influential radio stations in America, and its Boss Jocks became stars in their own right.

The Charlie Tuna ’70s Show Brings That Legendary Sound Back to Radio
The Charlie Tuna ’70s Show gives listeners more than another collection of ’70s songs. It brings back the sound, personality and energy of an era when the person behind the microphone mattered.
Charlie was there when these songs were new. He didn’t just play the hits. He introduced listeners to the artists who made them, talked with the stars and helped make their music part of our lives.
In 1973, Charlie sat down with a 14-year-old Michael Jackson for an extraordinary early radio interview, one example of Charlie’s front-row seat to the artists and music that defined the decade.
Two legendary voices of American radio: Wolfman Jack and Charlie Tuna.
Today, The Charlie Tuna ’70s Show brings that connection back to radio. These aren’t simply songs from an era Charlie remembered. They’re songs, artists and stories from an era Charlie lived.
