Bio...
Sean Hannity is a multi-media superstar, spending four hours a day every day broadcasting in front of millions of Americans on radio, television and the Internet.
He is the host of the The Sean Hannity Show, which broadcasts on over 500 affiliates throughout the
United States with a loyal weekly listenership of 13 million according to Talkers Magazine. He is also co-host of the highly successful Hannity & Colmes on FOX News Channel and recently expanded his reach with a second solo show on Fox, Hannity’s
America, which airs Sunday evenings at 9PM ET.
Hannity’s website, www.Hannity.com, is among the most visited political websites on the Internet with more than 20 million page views and 350,000 visitors each month. Audio streams of The Sean Hannity Show average more than 190,000 unique listeners per month, making it among the most listened to Internet broadcasts, according to Arbitron. Moreover, The Sean Hannity Show has also become the 20th most popular podcast in News & Politics shortly after its launch, and continues to grow.
A gutsy talk show host who always lands on the “right side” of the issues, Hannity has quickly made a name for himself as one of the hottest young personalities in the media world. He is a three-time consecutive winner of Radio & Records National Talk Show Host of The Year Award (2003, 2004 and 2005) as well as a recipient of the 2007 R&R Industry Achievement Award and ranked #2 in Talkers Magazine’s “Top 100 Talk Hosts in
America.”
Add to this the fact that Sean is a 2 time best-selling author. His first book, Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty over Liberalism rode the New York Times bestseller list for a remarkable 17 weeks. Sean followed up shortly thereafter with, Deliver Us From Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism, which shot to #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list during its first week and remained there for five consecutive weeks.
Sean Hannity grew up in Franklin Square, Long Island in the shadows of America’s largest media market. A self-described “Reagan Republican,” he got his start in commercial radio after drawing attention and enthusiasm from his college radio station. Hannity placed a “JOB WANTED” ad in the radio industry’s leading trade journal, Radio and Records, billing himself as “the most talked about college radio host in America.” A station in Huntsville, Alabama took a chance on the brash young voice and the world of talk radio would never be the same. Hannity quickly moved to NewsRadio WGST-AM in Atlanta where his strong ratings attracted the attention of 77WABC in New York and cable television’s Fox News Channel.
In September 1996, Hannity joined Fox News Channel as co-host of the prime-time show Hannity & Colmes, the #1 9:00 PM cable news show in America. The executives at Fox were so confident in Hannity’s ability to attract viewers that the network recently gave Sean his own program on the #1 cable news network in America. Hannity’s America launched on January 7, 2007 and immediately shot to #1 in the 9PM time slot on Sundays.
A husband and father of two, Hannity has returned to his roots and continues to live on Long Island, New York.
