Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly has re-signed with Westwood One, which will continue to distribute The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly nationally. Produced by Fox News, O'Reilly's radio show has been distributed by Westwood since May 8, 2002, when it launched on a record 205 radio stations. Since then,
the number of affiliates has grown to more than 400 stations, clearing stations in all the top 100 markets.
O'Reilly's show airs weekdays from Noon to 2 p.m., in one of the most competitive dayparts in Talk radio opposite Rush Limbaugh (syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks) and Al Franken (syndicated by Air America Radio).
A growing number of Fox News personalities currently host radio shows, including Sean Hannity, syndicated by ABC Radio Networks. Fox News Radio, which syndicates Fox News Live with Alan Colmes and The Tony Snow Show, last month announced it would expand its syndication portfolio this month with the launch of the The John Gibson Show.
