Bob GrantWeekdays: 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM ON WABC RADIO 77.

Controversial, opinionated and wildly popular, Bob Grant has truly earned the title "King of Talk Radio".

After leaving the University of Illinois, Bob landed his first radio job at WAOK in Oak Park, Illinois. He moved on to WBBM in Chicago as a newsman. While in Chicago he also performed as a television actor. Ten years later he moved to Los Angeles to work at KNX as a radio personality and television talk show host.

Bob was hired by KABC radio as Sports Director where he met the legendary Joe Pine. After substituting for Pine on several occasions, Grant was chosen to take over The Joe Pine Show at KABC. For Bob Grant and his loyal listeners, the rest would be history.

Bob moved to New York in 1970 to host a talk show on WMCA where he spent seven years steadily building his audience. Leaving WMCA in 1977, Grant worked his first stint at WOR, and later moved to WWDB in Philadelphia before returning to New York as the cornerstone of WABC’s brand new talk format in 1984. He remained at WABC until his much-publicized firing in 1996.

Ten days later, Bob was again hired by WOR to be heard locally in New York and nationally on The WOR Radio Network.

He is the author of the best-selling book, "Lets Be Heard".

In 1996 the National Association of Radio Talk Show Hosts (NARTSH) honored Bob Grant with its Freedom of Speech Award. In 2002, radio industry magazine Talkers ranked him as the 16th greatest radio talk show host of all time. In 2007, Bob Grant was nominated for induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame.
