I was a business manager at a car dealership for some years and took care of the car loans, etc. I guess I have a background that would give me a little inside track on how to go about this. It is very easy if you have a little knowlege.

O'REILLY TO TAKE ON RUSH?

By JOHN MAINELLI

November 19, 2001 -- FOX News Channel star Bill O'Reilly wants to go one-on-one with talk radio titan Rush Limbaugh, according to the Internet newsletter Drudge Report.
O'Reilly is aggressively pitching networks on a two-hour daily talk show that would start at noon - the same time Limbaugh takes air on some 600 radio stations - according to Drudge.

O'Reilly, the fast-rising host of Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor"-which recently began topping CNN's Larry King in the ratings - is reportedly eager to get started as soon as possible.

Sources say O'Reilly has wanted to challenge Limbaugh's 13-year dominance of talk radio for some time, and his decision to move forward now has to do with news events and not Limbaugh's recent announcement that he's battling deafness.

Whether an O'Reilly radio show is picked up in New York depends on which network chooses to syndicate him.

If it's Viacom/CBS/Infinity's Westwood One, it's a virtual certainty that O'Reilly and Limbaugh would do battle here from Day One.

The outspoken O'Reilly is a natural for the company's WNEW-FM (102.7) because of its feisty, male-appeal talk shows and the fact that the ratings of 'NEW's current midday hosts, Don & Mike, are miniscule.

Since Limbaugh's own syndicator, Premiere, is obviously out of the question for any head-to-head competition, the only other major radio network player is Disney/ABC, although smaller syndicators could be eager to step up.

But Disney's WABC (770 AM) isn't a promising affiliation because it has aired the top-rated Limbaugh since his 1988 national debut and isn't likely to bump him for O'Reilly or anybody else.

However, sources tell The Post that WABC has already discussed weekend slots if there's an O'Reilly show, albeit on low-profile tape delay.

An O'Reilly-Limbaugh radio confrontation could be uncomfortable for Fox News chairman Roger Ailes, a long-time Limbaugh friend and the producer of Limbaugh's now-defunct 1990s TV show.

A Fox News spokesman said O'Reilly is out of the country and Ailes was unavailable for comment.
