Phil Boyce, the SVP of Salem’s Spoken Word assets, says O’Connor “brings a wealth of experience and credibility to SNC, and we are thrilled he has chosen to join us as we build this network. SNC’s prime time lineup of Andrew Wilkow, Brandon Tatum, Dinesh D’Souza, Eric Metaxas and now Larry O’Connor is second to none in the cable TV news world.”
The show debuts Monday, October 3 in the 9pm ET hour.
O’Connor will retain his role at WMAL-FM and also that of a Senior Columnist and Creative Director at Townhall, extending a pre-existing relationship with Salem.
