Charles McCord's Bio: Charles McCord is the retired news anchor and on-air radio personality in the New York metropolitan area. He is most notable for being the right-hand man of Don Imus during the long run of Imus in the Morning for the past three decades.

McCord began his radio career at KICK in Springfield, Missouri in 1963 before moving to the now-defunct WFAA in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and then to WWDC and WTOP in Washington, DC before joining WNBC in New York City in the early 1970s. He was assigned as a news reader for the Monitor weekend program and as the sidekick to Don Imus.

In 1988, when WNBC signed off and WFAN signed on, Imus and McCord were both retained.McCord continued to serve as the news anchor for WFAN's morning show for several months after the departure of I mus, and then, after over thirty years at the 660 kHz frequency in New York, left WFAN at the end of August when the contract between Imus and WFAN was settled.

McCord reunited with Imus on the revival of Imus in the Morning when the program returned to radio on WABC on December 3, 2007.
