The legendary and controversial Bob Grant has died.
Grant spent the majority of his radio career talking in New York City. Grant moved to New York in 1970 to host a talk show on WMCA-AM, where he spent seven years steadily building his audience.
Leaving WMCA in 1977, Grant worked his first stint at WOR, and later moved to WWDB in Philadelphia before returning to New York as the cornerstone of WABCs new talk format in 1984. He remained at WABC until his much-publicized firing in 1996. Ten days later, Bob Grant was hired by WOR.

Does anyone have a nice photo of this broadcasting icon? Thanks in advance.

The American flag lapel pin rounded out a portrait of a good man. Rest in peace, Mr. Grant.

R.I.P. Bob Grant. Condolences to family and friends.
Thanks to your brother. Being from Michigan I was aware of Bob Grant, but never heard him on his radio show. Thanks for the links.
Thanks for that. And you’re welcome.
Here’s a link to one of his more recent appearances on the show:
