On Music Row: Crook, Chase ink new radio deal

Premiere Radio Networks has added The Crook & Chase Countdown to its lineup of nationally syndicated radio programs. The company assumed distribution rights to the four-hour weekend radio program on Oct. 10.

The Crook & Chase Countdown had been syndicated by New York-based United Stations Radio Networks, which was licensing the program to more than 160 stations. The deal with Premiere gives the show access to more than 5,000 affiliates, about 500 more than USRN.
