Host
Natalie Jones — our lifestyle and nightlife correspondent, and a proud Cincinnati native. Born and raised on the West Side, she now calls Over-the-Rhine home, having spent much of her adult life immersed in the neighborhood's vibrant culture. After earning her Communications degree from the University of Cincinnati, Natalie channeled her ambitions into stand-up comedy, discovering a deep passion for entertainment and connecting with audiences. That passion took her across the country — from North Carolina and South Carolina to Colorado and Los Angeles — before life brought her back to Cincinnati to care for her mother. She stepped off the road and almost immediately into a media career. She spent eight years behind the microphone at WKRQ 101.9 before finding her new home at The Crown, where she's thrilled to bring that same energy from the airwaves to the screen. Fueled by the same curiosity that once carried her coast to coast, Natalie is now on a mission to seek out everything worth knowing and celebrating in the Queen City. Off camera, you'll find her DJ'ing around town, hosting events, making TikToks with her nieces, and taking her mom out to dinner. An avid sports fan with a taste for adventure, she's embraced everything from snowboarding and surfing to boxing, biking, Pilates, and wakeboarding (with kitesurfing and Muay Thai next on her list). Join Natalie every day on The Crown, and follow her on our socials to see what she's up to next.
