No Spin: No More O'Reilly Radio
As he signs a new contract to stay with the Fox News Channel for another four years, Westwood One syndicated host Bill O'Reilly tells the New York Daily News he is reevaluating his radio program and is likely to give it up. "I just can't work 60 hours [a week]. I'm going to have to make some kind of adjustments," O'Reilly said.
Westwood One's Pete Sessa tells R&R, �We are still in talks with O'Reilly about his continuing radio role with Westwood One. No date has been set for The Radio Factor to end.� Sessa adds the show will continue into next year.
O'Reilly's new Fox News Channel deal is reportedly worth between $10 and $12 million per year.
