National radio show hosts Ken and Daria Dolan, known to millions of loyal listeners, will host an hour-long daily television show on CNNfn, it was announced Sept. 12 by Ken Jautz, executive vice president of CNN's business news operations.

Dolans Unscripted will present a lively take on the day's news from a money perspective, providing viewers with a fast, free-wheeling dialogue about pocket-book issues pegged to the news of the day. The show will air weekdays at 10 a.m. (EST) and will feature viewer call-ins, provocative guests, and a daily Dolans on Demand segment, giving viewers access to the Dolans' nearly two decades of experience in writing and reporting on money matters. The launch of Dolans Unscripted underscores the broad nature of CNNfn's programming and its focus on the individual consumer and investor.

The Dolans, husband and wife radio celebrities for more than 15 years, are hosts of a two-hour daily radio show that is syndicated to about 200 stations nationwide, reaching more than two million listeners a week. They are also authors of five books on personal finance and hosts of various money seminars attended by thousands of small investors. Currency/Doubleday published the Dolans most recent book, 'Don't Mess with My Money,' in December 2002.

"We are thrilled to be in partnership with the Dolans," Jautz said. "With their years of experience providing investment advice and interacting with individuals on other money matters, Ken and Daria have a wonderful ability to enlighten and entertain a broad audience. They will be extremely helpful to CNNfn viewers. "

The Dolans said: "We are very excited to be on CNNfn delivering to a television audience the same 'no-nonsense, no smoke and mirrors' approach to timely money topics as we have with our millions of radio listeners over the past fifteen years with our primary goal of making individuals' lives better."

The show will launch later this fall, and CNNfn's Mia Haugen will serve as its executive producer.
