Embattled Conservative talk show host Bill O’Reilly will host a brand-new show on 77 WABC called “Common Sense with Bill O’Reilly.”
The show starts today Monday and will air from 10p-11p ET following Rudy Giuliani’s show.
The deal was confirmed by station owner, John Catsimatidis, who finished as the runner-up to the Republican nomination in the New York City mayor’s race in 2013.
O’Reilly, a former Fox News personality, had his career derailed by multiple allegations of sexual harassment; accusations which he vehemently denies.
In 2017, the New York Times reported that Bill O’Reilly and Fox News Channel paid five women a total of $13 million to settle cases going back 15 years.
Following the report, O’Reilly’s team called the Times’ report “false” and “defamatory.”
“In its latest diatribe against Bill O’Reilly, the Times printed leaked information provided by anonymous sources that is out of context, false, defamatory, and obviously designed to embarrass Bill O’Reilly and to keep him from competing in the marketplace,” O’Reilly spokesperson, Mark Fabiani, said at the time.
Over the last three years, the 71-year-old O’Reilly rejuvenated his career thanks to an aggressive grassroots approach to reporting news. His internet show called “No Spin News” airs on YouTube and Pluto TV, an internet television services owned by ViacomCBS.
