Hannity Radio Debuts Coast to Coast

New York radio talker Sean Hannity took his show to the national airwaves Monday afternoon, poised to follow Rush Limbaugh, Howard Stern and Don Imus to syndication stardom.

Broadcasting from his WABC Radio home studio overlooking Manhattan's Madison Square Garden, Hannity shared his unique New York style with listeners in major urban centers across the country -- including major market ABC radio affiliates in Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Dallas, San Francisco and Detroit.

After a brief introduction to new listeners where he recalled getting fired from his very first radio job on a liberal California college station for being too conservative, Hannity's show seemed little changed from the popular "hot news and burning issues" format that has propelled him since he debuted on WABC in the fall of 1996.

Fans of Hannity can also catch him nightly on Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes," where he and fellow radio talker Alan Colmes host one of the hottest debate shows on cable TV.

With his new national radio presence and major cable television exposure, Hannity seems particularly well-positioned to become one of the nation's best known news and information personalities in the business.

Can it be heard over the internet? I used to listen to WABC that way until they had to shut the feed down due to the advertising revenue nonsense.

Hannity is good in the radio talk show format...maybe even better than his TV show which he has to share with the commie flake.

In any case it is always good news to hear that there is a market out there to support yet another nation-wide conservative talk show.

Today was the first time I was able to hear him doing his show with the format he creates.......until today, the only time I heard him on the radio was when he was hosting for Limbaugh.

From now on, he's got my ear from 12-3, M-F, on KABC.

Are you saying that Hannity is on the same time as Rush? 12 to 3 pm Eastern?

I'm on the left coast (L.A.)......

Rush from 9:00 to 12:00.....Hannity from 12:00 to 3:00.....

and then it's a toss-up between Larry Elder and KFI's John and Ken (J & K are all over Condit)

Listening to him right now on KVI 570 in Seattle. Hannity is great. He is the new Limbaugh.

Yeah, I'd like to find a signal out of Chicago, but haven't found one yet.

I worte to WLS-AM about this when the news of Sean's show first came out. They said they didn't plan to have him on their station at this time. Too bad -- I'd love to hear Sean on the air after Roe and Gary.
