Faithful to her country music roots, she was also the "top name" on WLWT's televised version of "Midwestern Hayride", which began as a regional program and was eventually the first country music program regularly broadcast on a national TV network, NBC. Bonnie Lou, dubbed "Queen of the Hayride", (and sometimes affectionately referred to on the show as "Queenie") appeared on the program until it ceased production in 1972. She appeared regularly on the Ruth Lyons (broadcaster) "50-50 Club", an innovative live weekday talk and entertainment show that had 7 million viewers at its peak, though it was only aired regionally. In 1958, she and other WLWT luminaries recorded a Christmas album for Ruth Lyons's new record label that sold about 250,000 copies. As busy as her TV schedule was, she hosted "Six Star Ranch", a WLW live music radio show transmitted nationwide by the Mutual Broadcasting System.
