Crook and Chase Celebrate 25th Anniversary

Lorianne Crook and Charlie Chase will mark 25 years together as a broadcast team today, Sept. 23, making them the longest running broadcast duo that is still on the air.The pair started 25 years ago on This Week in Country Music.  Since then, they have gone on to host Music City Tonight from Nashville and Crook & Chase from Hollywood. During that time, they have been nominated for and received several awards from both the broadcast and music industries.  More recently, the duo premiered their latest TV show, Crook & Chase, on RFD-TV, and they still continue to succeed on radio with The Crook & Chase Countdown. All the success has earned the team the nickname "Nashville's Dream Team," something both are very proud of."We've always wanted to be the facilitator of the relationship between the entertainers and Country fans," Crook said. "We've been told that it's a comfortable environment for the entertainers. That's a high compliment." Chase added, "I think one of the reasons we've been able to maintain such healthy careers is we want everyone to have fun, ourselves included. We're all here to have a good time and help the fan get to know their favorite celebrity just a little bit better."
