Chuck Long(I)

Chuck Long is the host and producer of the nationally and internationally syndicated, "The Country Vibe with Chuck and Becca." The affable, red headed native Texan began his hosting career at the age of 19 while a student at the University of Texas, fronting a music show called "Backstage Country." Shortly after college, Long moved to Los Angeles and quickly found hosting gigs covering the entertainment scene. He also had hosting stints on the USA Network, Nickelodeon and Financial News Network. 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 City of Angel's sole local country music television show. "Chuck's Country" gained national exposure with a series of specials on CMT. After a three year run in Los Angeles, Jim Owens Entertainment brought the show to Nashville where it kicked into high gear with a daily, three-hour live edition. After its Nashville run ended, a new version, "Chuck's Country Lightning" went nationwide once more as one of the Americana Network's cornerstone shows. Long is a popular personality in Nashville, thanks to his hosting stints on the WB's "Mornings," The Americana Network's "Americana Digest" and "Writer's Notes," correspondent duties on the syndicated television show "Crook and Chase" and the Shop at Home Network, where he served as a Senior Host. Long hosts entertainment segments on Nashville's WTVF-NewsChannel 5+. An accomplished actor, Long has a substantial resume of film, television and theatre roles.
