Chuck Boozer

“On Second Thought” with Chuck Boozer is a live three-hour talk show, weekdays from 9 am to noon that will bring listeners topics and conversations relevant to Hickory and our surrounding area.  “I love talking to people, finding out different things, just having fun.  The Hickory area, what’s not to love? Everything you could ask for is right here.“

Chuck Boozer began his radio career in Phoenix in 1973.  From there he went on to Atlanta, Dallas, Cincinnati, Myrtle Beach, Charlotte and now, Hickory!  “I played all the classic rock songs when they were hits. That’s how long I’ve been doing radio! I still love radio today!”
