Scroll down a little ways and find a couple of OLD photos of Chuck. It'll take a double or triple take.

Chuck needs to leave the bow tie to Troy Dungan.

That's how I still remember Chuck, especially from the ``Come Alive'' days on WIIC-TV (now WPXI) and from the street level studios at the corner of Walk and Don't Walk on 7th Avenue dahntahn.

It's interesting that for someone so closely associated with Pittsburgh, Chuck's longest tenure at a single station was not at KQV (12 years) but at KLUV (17 years) here in Dallas.

...true about KQV/KLUV, but he was on the air in Pittsburgh much longer if you factor in WTAE and Y97.

Does Chuck still live around here or did he move back (thus reversing the PGH -> DFW trend)?

Chuck is alive and well and living in Plano. He does a Saturday night oldies show on 770/KAAM, when they're not running a basketball game. He recently was heard on WRCT Pittsburgh counting down the top 50 songs of 1963 from the KQV survey, and is currently working on a similar show spotlighting 1964.
