Radio Career
Hannity started his radio career in 1989 at the radio station of University of California, Santa Barbara. His show was canceled after the school accused him of discrimination against gays and lesbians, but this decision was reversed amid pressure from the American Civil Liberties Union.
After Santa Barbara, Hannity worked on a variety of stations, mainly in the American South, before being tapped in 1996 by Roger Ailes of Fox News to host Hannity and Colmes with liberal commentator Alan Colmes.
Author
Hannity has written two best-selling books about conservative politics, Let Freedom Ring and Deliver Us From Evil. He says that, because of time constraints, he typically dictates the books into a tape recorder while driving.
