 Bill
began working in news in 1975 at a
local station in Pennsylvania and
quickly moved up to larger venues in
Dallas and then in Denver and
Hartford. By 1980 O'Reilly was in
New York, working at CBS as host of
a nightly TV magazine show. His work
there caught the eye of the network
people who named him a CBS network
news correspondent.>>>

In 1986, Roone Arledge, the
President of ABC News, came calling.
Bill joined ABC, providing
award-winning coverage for the
network during his three-year stay.
In 1989 a new nationally syndicated
magazine show called Inside Edition
was rolling out across the country,
and Bill was tapped to host the
show. Six years later, after
considerable success with Inside
Edition, Bill felt it was time to
move on.
After a break at Harvard's Kennedy
School of Government, Roger Ailes
recruited him to the Fox News
Channel, which was about to go on
air. His show, originally called The
O'Reilly Report, began in October of
1996.
And now Bill O'Reilly is at the top
of his profession.
TELEVISION: "The O'Reilly
Factor," seen weeknights on the Fox
News Channel, continues to dominate
the television news ratings,
consistently ranking as the highest
rated cable news show for more than
two years. It is also carried in
dozens of foreign countries.
RADIO: In 2002, Bill came to
radio. The Radio Factor was an
immediate hit. It is one of the most
successful syndicated radio shows
ever, heard Monday through Friday on
more than 400 stations nationwide.

have three consecutive number one
non-fiction books on the New York
Times Best Sellers list. "The
O'Reilly Factor," "The No Spin

You" have sold millions of copies.
Bill continues to find the time to
write, most recently turning his
attention to Teenagers and a new
book entitled "The O'Reilly Factor
For Kids."

column is carried in hundreds of
newspapers across the USA, including
The New York Daily News and the

Education sparked O'Reilly's career.
He graduated with a degree in
history from Marist College, with a
Master's Degree in broadcast
journalism from Boston University,
and attained another Master's in
Public Administration from Harvard's
Kennedy School of Government.
Raised in a working class family in
the huge housing subdivision of
Levittown, New York, Bill O'Reilly
has stayed close to his roots. He
still lives on Long Island, is
married with two children, and his
best friends remain the neighborhood
guys.
