A Facebook group has been set up in support of Carmichael Dave, and though its numbers are a fraction of the following he has on Twitter and Facebook, he had this to say on the page: "Wow. Thanks guys! You are the reason I've smiled so much this week after a horrible, horrible event in my life. I cannot put into words what you all mean to me."

Carmichael Dave was a radio personality on local CBS Radio affiliate KHTK, and he was instrumental in keeping the Sacramento Kings in the city last year with the Here We Build campaign. Even as CBS Radio and Carmichael Dave remain tight-lipped on the reason for his departure from the radio station more than a week ago, fans continue to support him, immediately responded to his departure with condolences, support and well-wishes, with many of his Twitter followers urging him to start a podcast.

On Friday, Carmichael Dave posted a video on YouTube in which he explained his situation, but details were scant as he said he will say more in the future.

The Sacramento Press will continue to report on the story as more information becomes available. Representatives from KHTK have not returned phone calls for comment on the matter.
