In a move to strengthen its programming and appeal to New York’s diverse tri-state audience, iHeartMedia New York’s 710 WOR has announced it will add FOX Across America with Jimmy Failla to its nightly lineup, effective Monday June 9, 2025.
The syndicated talk show, hosted by former New York City cab driver turned media personality Jimmy Failla, will air weeknights from 9:00 p.m. to midnight ET.
Known for blending sharp political commentary with humor and relatability, Failla’s addition to the iconic AM news/talk station marks a homecoming for the Long Island native, who once tuned into WOR while navigating the city’s streets.
FOX Across America with Jimmy Failla is a nationally syndicated radio show broadcast on nearly 200 stations, offering a mix of political analysis, cultural commentary, and lighthearted humor. Failla, a rising star in conservative media, also hosts FOX News Saturday Night on FOX News Channel, where his comedic style and everyman perspective resonate with viewers. His journey from a cab driver to a prominent media figure adds authenticity to his commentary, often rooted in his experiences engaging with New Yorkers from all walks of life.
Tom Cuddy, Program Director for 710 WOR, expressed enthusiasm about Failla’s arrival, highlighting his appeal to the station’s audience. “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,” Cuddy said.
For Failla, joining 710 WOR is a deeply personal milestone. Reflecting on his days as a cab driver, he said, “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. Hopefully I don’t get as many red-light tickets this time around.”
