Radio Station Finds Jobs for ListenersA couple of weeks ago, I was on the phone with my old friend and colleague Francene Cucinello, a midday radio host on WHAS-AM in Louisville, Ky. She was less than a half-hour from going on the air when I mentioned that everybody I talk to these days is either looking for work or worried about losing their job.

The phones lit up and have not stopped. I asked her to give us some insight about this.Al Tompkins: What is the need?Francene Cucinello: I've been working in talk radio and television for 15 years.
