Charles "Chas" White, known as Dr Rock, (born 1942) is an Irish-born BBC Radio and TV presenter and book author.
[1] White hosted the Dr Rock Show which ran on both Yorkshire and Tyne Tees Television.
[2] In December 2011, BBC Radio announced that some 40 hours of local broadcasting a week would be axed in order to meet the budgeted 20 per cent cut in expenses,[3] with Dr Rock's programme among those scheduled to go.
[4] Three years on, however, Dr Rock was still broadcasting every Sunday, and, in 2014, celebrated two full decades with BBC York,[5][6] a position he still held in 2020.
[7] In 2017, White placed in auction his entire "Dr Rock collection," consisting of some five thousand vinyl records, as well as various memorabilia items.
