| Info | Whether it is on television or radio, in books, in newspapers, or here on the web, the name Bill O'Reilly is synonymous with hard hitting, uncompromising No Spin reporting and analysis.
For some thirty years Bill has been a working journalist: a writer, news producer and reporter, anchor, and show host. His numerous awards include two Emmy Awards for Excellence In Reporting and two National headliner Awards for his news reporting for the ABC network. O'Reilly was also honored by The National Academy of Arts and Sciences for his reporting and analysis on and after September 11th, 2001.
Background: Professional
Bill began working in news in 1975 at a local station in Pennsylvania and quickly moved up to larger venues in Dallas and then in Denver and Hartford.
By 1980 O'Reilly was in New York, working at CBS as host of a nightly TV magazine show. His work there caught the eye of the network people who named him a CBS network news correspondent.
In 1986, Roone Arledge, the President of ABC News, came calling. Bill joined ABC, providing award-winning coverage for the network during his three-year stay.
In 1989 a new nationally syndicated magazine show called Inside Edition was rolling out across the country, and Bill was tapped to host the show. Six years later, after considerable success with Inside Edition, Bill felt it was time to move on.
After a break at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, Roger Ailes recruited him to the Fox News Channel, which was about to go on air. His show, originally called The O'Reilly Report, began in October of 1996.
And now Bill O'Reilly is at the top of his profession.
TELEVISION: "The O'Reilly Factor," seen weeknights on the Fox News Channel, continues to dominate the television news ratings, consistently ranking as the highest rated cable news show for more than two years. It is also carried in dozens of foreign countries.
RADIO: In 2002, Bill came to radio. The Radio Factor was an immediate hit. It is one of the most successful syndicated radio shows ever, heard Monday through Friday on more than 400 stations nationwide. The demand is such that Premium Members here at BillOReilly.com can listen at their leisure daily to "streaming" audio of the latest program.
BOOKS: Bill is one of only two authors in the past ten years to have three consecutive number one non-fiction books on the New York Times Best Sellers list. "The O'Reilly Factor," "The No Spin Zone," and "Who's Looking Out for You" have sold millions of copies. Bill continues to find the time to write, most recently turning his attention to Teenagers and a new book entitled "The O'Reilly Factor For Kids."
COLUMN: Bill's syndicated column is carried in hundreds of newspapers across the USA, including The New York Daily News and the Philadelphia Inquirer. He is pleased to preview each week's column weekly right here at BillOReilly.com.
Background: Personal
Education sparked O'Reilly's career. He graduated with a degree in history from Marist College, with a Master's Degree in broadcast journalism from Boston University, and attained another Master's in Public Administration from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
Raised in a working class family in the huge housing subdivision of Levittown, New York, Bill O'Reilly has stayed close to his roots. He still lives on Long Island, is married with two children, and his best friends remain the neighborhood guys.
