The Sean Hannity show is an outlet for moral and conservative listeners who are tired with the shock jocks of radio. Hannity has no fear to tread upon the moral issues that most mainstream media refrains from. And this makes The Sean Hannity show one of the most unique radio talk shows on the airwaves.
Hannity has been a conservative from the beginning. The youngest of four children with strong Irish Catholic roots, he was raised in a home where right and wrong had a fixed line and his conscience kept him in check. But like all teenagers, Hannity went through a period of rebellion. He would stay up late tuning in to the AM dial to catch talk shows like Barry Farber and Bob Grant. Much of his ideology was shaped by these shows.
It wasn’t until 1987 that Hannity made a call that would change the course of his life. He began a regular routine of call-ins to a Santa Barbara, California talk show. He found an outlet for his views and challenged the host and fellow listeners alike. He then started his own show at a Santa Barbara college radio station. He lasted 40 hours of on-air time.
About a year later he moved on to Huntsville, Al at WVNN and co-hosted a morning debate show and in the afternoons had his own call-in program. Soon, WGST in Atlanta was knocking on his door and asked him to move in for a morning call-in show, which he did in 1992.
In 1996, WABC in New York City invited him to continue his career. The Sean Hannity show was a success. The same year Hannity was part of the effort to launch the Fox News Channel and became co-host of Hannity & Colmes, a current issue debate show which has since been changed to simply 'Hannity.'
