After five years away from news television following sexual-harassment allegations, former Fox News and current radio host Bill O’Reilly could be making his way to broadcast airwaves.
The Daily Beast’s newsletter, “Confider,”, reports that O’Reilly is in talks to join NewsNation after the network hired former CNN host Chris Cuomo last week.
NewsNation leaders are negotiating with the former broadcaster to join as a contributor, the newsletter said, citing two people familiar with the situation. O’Reilly has already appeared as a guest on Dan Abrams’ nightly NewsNation show.
O’Reilly currently hosts his radio show that airs on Red Apple Media talk station WABC and is syndicated through Key Networks. The show airs on the New York-based radio station from 9-10 pm on weeknights as “Common Sense with Bill O’Reilly.”
A NewsNation spokesperson declined to comment whether they are in discussions with bringing on the former Fox News host to the network. Meanwhile, a representative for O’Reilly did not respond to multiple requests from The Daily Beast for comment.
