Radio career

Charlie Brown was one of the original "KIX Men of Music".[1] From 1964 to 1970, Brown was evening host on top 40 WKIX (AM) in Raleigh, North Carolina.[2][3] After leaving his on-air job, Brown worked in sales and later served as WKIX general manager. He also helped to produce the first beach music records with Atlantic Records. Later, as a partner in Beach Beat Records, he was one of the first to sell beach music records advertised on TV.[4]

In 2010, Brown's On the Beach won the Syndicated Radio Show award at the Carolina Beach Music Awards for the fourth year.[5] Brown also won for best AM radio DJ in the years 2004 through 2008.[6]

Brown was the first DJ named to the Carolina Beach Music Hall of Fame.[4]
