EspañolCHARLIE CHASE
:''For the silent-film comedian, see Charley Chase.''
'Charlie Chase' (born Charles Bernard October 19, 1952) is a radio and television host best known for his work on The Nashville Network program ''Crook & Chase''. Currently, he hosts the local television show ''Tennessee Mornings'' on WZTV FOX 17 in Nashville.
Charlie Chase was born October 19, 1952 in Rogersville, Tennessee. He attended school at Rogersville City School and began his radio career at age 13, working part-time -- and later full-time -- at WRGS AM 1370 Radio in Rogersville.
Chase graduated from Rogersville High School in 1970, after working on-air jobs as Program Director and Music Director at stations in Kingsport and Knoxville. He moved to Nashville in 1974, where he went to work at WMAK Radio (AM-1300), the city's top-rated station at the time. Later, he moved to the home of the Grand Ole Opry, WSM AM 650, replacing Pat Sajak when Sajak decided to pursue television.
While working at WSM Radio, Chase began doing music reports for Channel 4 in Nashville. This led to being offered the host position for the station's long-running midday magazine program in 1982.
It was during that stint that television producer Jim Owens connected with Chase and pitched the idea for the television show ''This Week in Country Music'', which debuted in 1983.
During this period, Chase also hosted and produced a highly-rated series of specials: ''Funny Business with Charlie Chase'' and ''The Crook and Chase Show''.
Charlie's voice was also featured on a game show called Fandango; he voiced "Edgar, the Talking Jukebox" on the show.
