It's a "little known fact" because it is not true. His show at WABC was never 'little', and he didn't even start there until after being hired on Fox News as part of Hannity and Colmes - certainly was never portrayed as anything but a conservative.
sorry but he was on LOCAL WABC in New York City in the early eighties..I called into his show and spoke to him about the upcoming Ken Starr report. He made it a point to separate himself and called himself a LIBERTARIAN every chance he got then the contract come and our little sean was off to the big time...
Hannity worked at a station in Huntsville, Alabama, then at WGST in Atlanta before he moved to WABC. I listened him for maybe a couple of years out of Atlanta, and I’m pretty sure he went from Atlanta to WABC and Fox.
