Voecks came to Nashville in 1963 and worked as a television news anchor, news director and sports and weather presenter for NBC TV affiliate WSM-TV.
Voecks does a newscast every half-hour with Duncan Stewart (House's sportscaster); he also plays along the 'Liars Club' and 'You Be The Judge' during the show each morning.
House often quips on air that Voecks enjoys sitting in an empty hot tub and there are frequent references to his liquor cabinet.
Voecks has been named Broadcaster of the Year by the Tennessee Associated Press[citation needed], and he has received recognition from numerous charitable organizations.
Voecks has also co-hosted the Tennessee Crossroads on public television station WNPT since it began in 1987.
