Today (Tuesday, September 30, 2008) is Chuck Chandler's 64th birthday. He also leaves for his new home in Malaga on the Spanish Riviera, to be with his two adult sons who live there.
Today also marks the debut of the only known aircheck of Chuck's last on-air appearance, on Saturday, May 24, 2008, for a single 5 hour shift on Capital-FM (CKRA-FM 96.3 Edmonton).
Chuck's last 49 minutes (scoped to 13 minutes)
And, finally, a big thank you to an auto service shuttle driver who yesterday led me to Chuck's major movie acting credit, as a Track Announcer in Fast Company. So, that rounds out his EdmontonBroadcasters.com bio to look like this:
