Programming
Fox News Radio also syndicates the following radio programs hosted by its TV personalities:
- Kilmeade and Friends with Brian Kilmeade
- The John Gibson Show
- The Tom Sullivan Show
- FOX Across America with Spencer Hughes
- The Alan Colmes Show
Three other radio programs hosted by Fox News Channel personalities are or were distributed by other companies. The Radio Factor hosted by Bill O'Reilly was produced by Fox News Radio but syndicated separately by Westwood One. This is because when Fox News started producing O'Reilly's radio show in 2002, it did not have the resources to syndicate, and thus outsourced the distribution to Westwood One. Fox and Westwood One have since renewed the agreement, in 2006 and again in 2007; O'Reilly decided to leave the show in February 2009. (Because The Radio Factor was produced by Fox, it was available on Fox News Talk, Fox's satellite radio channel. Westwood One does not sell its programs to satellite services.)
The talk radio programs hosted by FNC's Sean Hannity and former FNC personality Glenn Beck are syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks. Hannity's show debuted before Fox News Radio had launched (and prior to 2009, was distributed by ABC Radio, later Citadel Media and currently Cumulus Media Networks), and Beck did not join the Fox organization until several years after his radio show had been on the air (he has since left Fox).
Aside from Hannity, the Fox News Channel radio hosts also appear on the Fox News Talk satellite radio channel, along with the satellite-only program Fox Across America hosted by Spencer Hughes. Hannity's program, The Sean Hannity Show, appears on the America Right and Sirius Patriot satellite channels.
On November 12, 2007, Fox News Radio debuted a 3-6 PM (Eastern) show hosted by Tom Sullivan, a long-time California radio talk show host who is an anchor on the company's Fox Business Network. Sullivan's show continues to air live on its original home station, Sacramento's KFBK, and is also now being offered to other stations, usually on tape delay.
On the Fox News Talk satellite channel, the Sullivan show precedes Fox Across America with Spencer Hughes, another former local talk show host for KFBK.
Fox News Radio also syndicates non-news programming such as Kidd Kraddick in the Morning, The Walton and Johnson Show, and The John Boy & Billy Big Show.

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
