After a string of successful radio shows on WNBC, WABC and WMCA in New York, Colmes gained a reputation as a hard-hitting liberal known for his electric commentary on the American Agenda.
After penetrating the Boston market with a hit radio show on WZLX, Colmes went from major market success to national talk radio prominence in 1990 with a fast-paced and informative afternoon news-driven show, which aired daily on hundreds of affiliates nationwide. His fast-paced, entertaining and informative program caught and held listeners' interest from the cascading horns of the opening theme to the final caller.
Then in 1996, Alan made the transition to television when he joined the Fox News Channel where he serves as liberal counterpart and co-host of "Hannity & Colmes'' which is broadcast Monday through Friday from 9:00pm to 10:00pm. The show is a one-hour debate-driven talk show focusing on controversial newscasters and issues of the day.
Now, in addition to his television work, Alan has returned to his radio roots here in his hometown of New York. One of Colmes' trademarks is a segment called "Radio Graffiti.'' The listeners are allowed one sentence and one sentence only.'' Its a fast and furious few minutes that features 30-40 callers competing to best put their message on Alan's radio bulletin board.
Callers are the centerpiece of the Colmes program, but newsmakers are also featured. Alan's national reputation has attracted guests from all walks of life. From major politicians, to civil rights leaders, to the Pentagon, to American cultural icons...if they're in the news, they're on with Alan Colmes.
The Colmes program also makes the best use of its staff s creative abilities. Through an innovative use of parody music, and humorous bits, The Alan Colmes Show doesn't just inform, it entertains.
The Alan Colmes Show, weeknights from 11:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., only on News/Talk 1050 WEVD, New York.
