Crook and Chase Return to TV

11/5/2007 Stephen L. Betts Lorianne Crook and Charlie Chase will be back on TV together with the all-new Crook and Chase Show, premiering Jan. 17, 2008 on RFD-TV.  The Crook and Chase Show premiere will be preceded by a one-hour television special, during which the hosts will look back at some of the best moments of their 25 years in broadcasting. The retrospective airs Jan. 10 at 9:00 p.m. (ET).  “What Charlie and I have always enjoyed about our shows is the blend of exciting musical performances and off-the-cuff interviews,” says Lorianne. “That combination gives our live audiences and our television viewers the best of both worlds - the pizzazz of showbiz, but also a personal connection to the stars they love.” “As always, our stage is open to newcomers just launching their careers, the current hit makers and newsmakers and our treasured stars who have spent their lives contributing to the foundation and fabric of today's country music," Charlie adds. The show will be taped in front of a studio audience on Wednesdays at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry House in Studio A, and will premiere Thursday evenings at 9:00 p.m. (ET) and repeat Fridays at 11:00 a.m. (ET) and Saturday nights at 7:00 (ET).      Other country music programs on the RFD-TV schedule include Ralph Emery Live and classics such as The Porter Wagoner Show, The Wilburn Brothers, Pop Goes the Country, Nashville on the Road, Country Carnival, and Jim Owens Classic Country Hour.
