Bill O'Reilly’s leaving syndicated radio, and Fox sees the opening for a new noon-3pm show featuring Fox News Channel personality John Gibson. Fox News EVP Kevin Magee says “we are confident that our affiliates will find Gibson on Fox as a strong alternative to [O'Reilly’s] Radio Factor.” O'Reilly wants to concentrate on his cable TV and other media opportunities and is leaving his Westwood radio show soon, after nearly seven years in syndication.
Glad to see it. I’ve always liked Gibson.
It’s possible that stations which carry Rush might pick up Gibson and run him tape delayed (as some stations do
with O’Reilly’s Radio Factor)
I LOVE Gibson....can;t stand the Bloviator.
The show is exhausting. Angry Rich, demented callers, live readings of quotes from DU and the like, and Gibby himself. If you’re in the mood, it’s a great show.
This actually sucks... I listen everyday on my way home from work on XM. Usually switch back and forth b/w Gibby and Savage. Now, on the rare days I listen to Rush, I’ll have to switch around there as well...
I think they should have kept Gibson in his current timeslot. Not a good move going up against El Rushbo, IMO. No wonder BOR didn’t get any ratings....
