CINCINNATI, OH — The Crown Network is proud to announce that Jack Crumley will host The Working Lunch, a weekday business show airing daily from 12–1 p.m. ET on YouTube, RESN, and all podcast platforms. After two decades covering news in Cincinnati on the radio, Jack is bringing that same dedication to a show built around the people, businesses, and stories that define it.

Jack grew up in Wellington, Ohio, but Cincinnati has felt like home since he arrived in 2006. After nearly two decades covering the Queen City on the radio, he brings a rare understanding of the people, companies, neighborhoods, ideas, and institutions that give the region its character. Through The Working Lunch, Jack will spotlight the hard-working people with big ideas, the innovative companies shaping industries, and the national brands built right here.

He will also explore the restaurant, arts, and culture scenes that continue to make Cincinnati one of the Midwest’s most quietly impressive cities. He has watched the city grow, evolve, and build real momentum, and now he gets to spotlight those stories every day.

The Working Lunch is the show for people who care about the innovators, the entrepreneurs, the makers, and the doers who give this city its character. Jack is the right person to host it.

“With The Working Lunch, I get to read, write, and talk every day about the things that make this city great: hard-working people with a drive and a dream, innovative ideas that shape new industries, nationally known companies with headquarters right here, an incredible restaurant and arts scene, and more. Cincinnati is a great city, and I’m excited to tell you all about it every day.”

“In many ways, Jack’s radio career has paved the way for this opportunity at The Crown. He’s covered this town comprehensively from a news perspective. That knowledge and the relationships he’s developed along the way make him uniquely suited to cover Cincinnati’s business landscape like no one else can.”

— D.J. Hodge, President | The Crown Network

The Working Lunch with Jack Crumley premieres June 1, 2026, as part of The Crown Network’s full launch across YouTube, RESN, and podcast. Tune in weekdays at noon, and bring your appetite.
