High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Charles Karel Bouley, known on-the-air as Karel, is an American talk radio host and author. He is chiefly known for his two stints of work on KGO radio show in San Francisco, California. Prior to working for KGO the first time, Bouley and his late partner, Andrew Howard, were the first openly gay radio talk show hosts on the #1 Talk Station in the Country, KFI in Los Angeles. He was fired from KGO in November of 2008. Bouley was forced to recreate himself, returning to stand-up comedy and re-entering radio in a market where no one would hire him. Subsequently, he independently syndicated his show five days a week, going nationwide after negotiating a satellite hookup. In November 2011, Karel returned to KGO, where he currently occupies his previous weekend time slot, in addition to his weekday show.
