Chuck Long
Chuck Long began his hosting career at the age of 19 while a student at
the University of Texas, fronting Backstage Country. Shortly after
college, Long headed to Los Angeles and quickly found hosting jobs
covering the entertainment scene, as well as stints on the USA Network,
Nickelodeon and Financial News Network. However, it was his love of
country music that prompted Long to create, produce and host Chuck's
Country. At the time, Chuck's Country was the only local country music
television show in Los Angeles. Chuck's Country soon gained national
exposure with a series of specials on CMT. After a 3 year run in Los
Angeles, Jim Owens Entertainment brought the show to Nashville where it
kicked into high gear with a daily, 3-hour live edition. After its
Nashville run ended, a new version, Chuck's Country Lightning expanded
nationwide once more as one of the Americana Network's premiere shows.
Long is excited to be returning to the genre that launched his hosting
career. Of the new show, he says, "The Country Vibe is all about
personality stamps: mine, Becca's, the artsits' and the fans. It's
going to be a little funky, a little quirky and a lot of fun." Long is a
popular personality in Nashville, thanks to his hosting stints on the
WB's Mornings with Chuck and Julie, The Americana Network's Americana
Digest and Writer's Notes, correspondent work on Crook and Chase and the
Shop at Home Network, where he served as a Senior Host. |
Chuck Long is currently a Co-Host and
Co-Writer for The Country Vibe
