C.C. McCartney

The long and winding radio road that CC McCartney has traveled began in Beeville in 1966. From there, he moved to Victoria to work nights at KVIC.

But, CC started to see the world! The next stop was Houma, Louisiana and KJIN. Then, moving on up, he worked in his hometown of Corpus Christi at KEYS.

From KEYS, CC moved on up to the legendary WKY in Oklahoma City and then, The BIG Time! KILT Houston doing the 10pm till 2 a.m. show.

Other stops for CC have been at Denver’s KIMN and KRBE and KKBQ in Houston, as well as stations in Beaumont and Tulsa.

CC says he had great fun in Corpus Christi working with two fellow Texas Radio Hall of Famers, Barry Kaye and Chuck Dunaway. Next, there was a two year night gig at KHFI, Austin. Then WBGK, Milwaukee for a year that was way too cold!

Texas Radio Hall of Famer Steve Hicks and Reed Reiker asked CC to go to Nashville to do afternoon drive at WSIX-FM, where CC did afternoons for three years, before going national with his syndicated show “ Climbing Country” which aired on more than 300 radio stations in the USA and Canada for 104 episodes.

WSIX called again to ask CC to do mid-days, and he did for another 5 years, where he was nominated three years in a row for the Country Music Association’s disk jockey of the year.

CC worked next at WKDF Nashville for two years and then decided to devote his full time to voice imaging, which he has done for the past five years, as the owner of CC McCartney Voice Imaging in Nashville.
