LOS ANGELES, March 17, 2010 - Premiere Radio Networks is proud to announce that The Crook & Chase Countdown has hit a broadcasting milestone of 200 stations with the addition of 102.5 KNIX-FM in Phoenix, Ariz. The Nashville-based program, which can be heard on KNIX Sundays from 6 - 10 a.m. local time, joined Premiere's lineup in October 2009. Since then, the program has continued to grow and receive industry recognition, including a 2010 nomination for an Academy of Country Music Award in the "National On-Air Personality" category.

Crook and Chase commented, "We welcome KNIX with open arms to our family of affiliates! It's all about teamwork, and we are blessed to be working with the best!"

KNIX Program Director Mark Medina stated, "KNIX is the definitive Country music brand in Arizona, and we're excited to further solidify that position by adding Crook & Chase to the lineup! The show has deep heritage, while still sounding current and fresh."

Each week, Lorianne Crook and Charlie Chase count down the top thirty Country music songs as they welcome the biggest stars in Country music, including Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Martina McBride, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts and many others. The Crook & Chase Countdown is nationally syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks.
