Tino and his team have a powerful chemistry with each other and with their listeners, who become engaged in their lives at all touchpoints - on-air, and via video, social media and a popular podcast."

Cochino added, "This partnership with YEA Networks and TCR is truly special. The success they have generated via The Kidd Kraddick Morning Show and The Bert Show is nothing short of impressive. To know they believe in our brand and what we're creating is a sign, to me, that we're without a doubt moving in the right direction."
