As Keene's radio programs became ever more popular during the [[2007–2008 financial crisis|2007-2008 Financial Crisis]] and in the run-up to the much propagated ''[[Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010|2010 Obama Tax Cuts]]'', Keene's radio program increasingly 'broke in' into Bloomberg's TV broadcasts. As the years passed the radio studio increasingly looked like a TV-studio, before finally, the TV-studio looked like a radio studio (which is still a feature of Tom Keene's TV- and radio simulcasts).
