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.
