Charles A. Hicks (January 4, 1939, Marion, North Carolina – May 12, 2015), also known as "Charlie B", was an American broadcaster familiar to listeners in radio markets throughout the southeastern United States.
He did a stint as a reporter and sports anchor for WLOS-TV in Asheville, North Carolina, where he covered the fatal crash of Piedmont Airlines Flight 22 on July 19, 1967.
In the early 1960s Hicks was working at radio station WSEV in Sevierville, Tennessee when a then-unknown and teenage Dolly Parton began singing live in the studio to launch her career.
In April 1963, while working as a reporter for WGAD in Gadsden, Alabama, Hicks interviewed civil rights activist William L. Moore minutes before the latter was murdered along rural U.S. Highway 11.
Later in his career Hicks held positions of vice-president and general manager with Suburban Radio Group and Capitol Broadcasting Company, both headquartered in North Carolina.
