710 WOR is making a change to its daily lineup by adding Fox Across America with Jimmy Failla to the fray.
A former New York City taxi driver, Failla’s show will air from 9 PM-12 AM on the iHeartMedia New York news/talk station. It will replace The John Batchelor Show from CBS News Radio in the timeslot.
“As a former NYC cab driver who spent all day listening to WOR, the idea of joining this iconic station feels like something straight out of a movie,” said Failla. “Hopefully, I don’t get as many red-light tickets this time around.”
In a post to social media, Failla — who also does standup comedy — joked that it was a “great day for community college grads everywhere!”
The program will air on 710 WOR on a tape-delay basis, as it airs live from 12-3 PM ET.
“Known for his sharp wit, fearless takes and refreshing lightness in the political world, we are delighted to welcome Jimmy to the WOR family and to be heard in his hometown,” 710 WOR Program Director Tom Cuddy said. “Jimmy’s show informs and entertains, which is a perfect combination for our tri-state area audience.”
