Geraldo Rivera will be live-and-local in L.A. for Monday's debut on KABC (790)
Talk about this story on the Los Angeles Board of Radio-Info.com, here.The Fox News Channel personality says that between his new 10am to noon local shift on WABC, New York (770) and the 10am-noon shift on KABC in Los Angeles, he'll soon need to "figure out where I'm living." For his debut week he'll be in Los Angeles. Rivera tells the Orange County Register that he knows the area. When he was first starting out in the 1960s, he “lived in Huntington Beach and worked at Foreman and Clark Men’s Store in the Lakewood Mall.” Then he got the chance to do three-minute commentaries on KLOS and the ABC FM Network. He explains how his new radio career began: He heard Cumulus executives Lew and John Dickey talking about a "sameness" in talk radio and said to himself, "I always wanted to do radio." Then he "asked Roger Ailes, my boss at Fox, and he was okay with it. I contacted the Dickey brothers” and went to Atlanta. Orange County Register writer Gary Lycan asks about the experience so far in New York, after debuting earlier this month. He responds that “It’s hard to tell. Lots of sponsors have come around, the phone calls are always coming in." Politically, Rivera describes himself as "a liberal Republican", and says "the times when we had liberals such as Nelson Rockefeller and Jacobs Javits have all but evaporated. I think the party is reduced because of it."
