Bill O'Reilly has signed up for another tour of duty at Fox News...Fox is expected to formally announce the four-year deal today, and the decision by O'Reilly -- who will be paid more than $10 million a year -- was not unexpected. After re-signing Sean Hannity and luring Glenn Beck from CNN's Headline News in the past two weeks, Fox has solidified a right-leaning lineup that has kept the channel's ratings well ahead of its rivals'.
"The O'Reilly Factor" has been the top-rated program in cable news for nearly eight years, with the host's high-decibel commentary generating both loyal fans and fervent critics. The program has been averaging more than 4 million viewers nightly since last month -- an unheard-of figure in that corner of the cable world.
O'Reilly said he will probably give up his syndicated radio show, which has been far less successful than his television program. "My duties at Fox are expanding," he said, adding: "I just can't work 60 hours a week."

O'Reilly said that by early next year, he would probably give up his radio show, which is syndicated by Westwood One, but that he hopes to maintain a presence on radio -- perhaps by recording his "talking points memo" commentaries. "The Radio Factor" has had mixed ratings and was recently dropped in the Washington market.

shepard smith gets paid 8m a yr.
Im sorry, I cant stand listening to his know it all attitude even if he is right about issues.
Try Fox Business
In my area Dave Ramsey is opposite O Reilly and FAR more entertaining and informative
I gotta admit I did like the rap remix of his tirade (”I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know—bleep! There’s no,
there’s no words there...bleepin’ thing SUCKS!...Take it away...”)

(not safe for work)
BOR is still an idiot. Swift Boat him.
“I just can’t work 60 hours a week.”
Then, *ussy, you are not qualified to lecture to Americans.
Eyes of the beholder and all that...O'Reilly has tried so hard to play it right down the middle that he's difficult to watch any more.
O’reilly??? Right leaning????
He wants government lookin out for you...and me... and all of us. That’s not right by the founders’ lights.
ruefully
>>to play it right down the middle
even if he does, the libs would still pronounce him “a
far right wing wacko”
Do I really get to kick him? If so, that would be a pretty good incentive to keep him around.
I listen to Ramsey on the radio on the weekends. Mostly enjoy him.
