Of all the members of the KQV airstaff, Chuck Brinkman was there the longest. Chuck worked in every time slot at KQV too.  From over-nights, to evenings,  to afternoon drive to morning drive, and to mid-day.  Chuck first joined KQV in 1960.

In addition to his duties on KQV, Chuck also hosted a weekly tv show starting in 1966. "Come Alive was seen Saturday afternnons on WIIC-TV Channel 11.

Chuck moved from KQV to WTAE in 1972 for middays.  Around 1982, Chuck went across country to KOGO in San Diego.  After a short time on the West Coast, Chuck returned to Pittsburgh after a short interval to do mornings and PD at WHYW 96.9 (formerly WLOA and then WFFM). 

Chuck spent 17 years as the program director and afternoon drive personality at oldies,  KLUV-FM in Dallas, Texas. Chuck left KLUV on December 28, 2005. Chuck is now working as afternoon man at Dallas adult standards station,
