The show will air from 3 to 5 p.m. on WOR Radio in New York and KABC in Los Angeles among others — pitting O'Reilly against his Fox colleague Sean Hannity, whose show airs at the same time.
"We didn't target anybody to go up against," O'Reilly said. "I talked to [Limbaugh's brother and agent] David Limbaugh for a good half hour and told him that if Rush had any problem with this, if I'm giving him any angst at all . . . and he said Rush had no problem at all.
"If we're half as successful as he is, we'll be pleased."
O'Reilly's radio show will originate from a radio studio at Fox News Channel. He says the show will include listener phone calls and e-mails.
