Bill Press is a veteran radio and television talk show host, at both the local and national level.
For
six years, Press was co-host of CNN’s “Crossfire.” He also co-anchored
“The Spin Room” on CNN, with Tucker Carlson; and “Buchanan and Press”
on MSNBC, with Pat Buchanan.
For two years, Press was co-host of “The Morning Show,” 5-9 a.m., on Washington’s WMAL-AM, with Andy Parks and Jane Norris.
Press
began his radio and TV career in Los Angeles, where he offered
political commentary on the evening news for 12 years – first on
KABC-TV, then on KCOP-TV.
Bill’s
first talk radio experience was at KABC-AM, as political commentator on
the morning drive show, “Ken and Bob.” He was a frequent guest host for
Michael Jackson and Ray Bream. For two years, he was co-host of “The
Dueling Bills” with Bill Pearl. Press then moved to KFI-AM, where he
hosted the popular “Bill Press True American” show on weekend
afternoons. Press continues to appear frequently – as guest host or
commentator - on KFBK, Sacramento; KIRO, Seattle; and KGO, San
Francisco.
Currently, Bill Press is host of The Bill Press Show,
a nationally syndicated radio talk show airing weekdays on Sirius
Satellite Radio and on many local stations across the country. Press
illuminates the most complex political issues by drawing on his
extensive experience, taking audiences for a ride on the political
roller coaster as he turns an engaged eye towards Congress, the
President, presidential candidates and other Washingtonians.
For
his radio and TV commentary, Bill has won three Emmy’s and one Golden
Mike Award. In 1992, Associated Press named him “Best Commentator of
the Year.”
Bill Press writes a weekly, nationally-syndicated newspaper column for Tribune Media Services. He has also written three books: Spin This! (2001); Bush Must Go (2004); and How the Republicans Stole Religion, published in November 2006. His website is www.billpress.com.
