Aaron Klein Investigative Radio

Klein has a weekly talk show entitled, "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio" on WABC (AM). He is described as "a Jerusalem-based investigative reporter and author with a rolodex that includes world leaders, news makers and some of the world's most deadly terrorists." His show includes his calling and interviewing terrorists on the air.

Klein follows the traditional talk radio model of taking listener calls throughout the show. His show fills the Sunday 7–9 p.m. (ET) time slot.

In June 2010, Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf, the Muslim leader behind a proposed Islamic cultural center near the site of the 9-11 attacks, was interviewed by Klein on WABC, where he reportedly refused to describe Hamas as a terrorist organization.

On August 15, 2010, Doctor Mahmoud al-Zahar, the chief of Hamas in Gaza, appeared on Klein's program, where he expressed support for Park51 community center. Zahar's comments made the cover of the New York Post and generated world media attention.

Klein's radio show was listed #99 in the 2012 edition of Talkers Magazine's "Heavy Hundred" list of the top radio shows in America. "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio" was one of two weekend programs in the U.S. that made the list. The show is reported to have over one million weekly listeners.

Klein's radio program made the new Talk Stream Live "Power 50," which ranks the top talk-radio shows streaming on the Web. Talk Stream Live says it sampled more than 1.2 million listeners during the first six months of 2012 to produce "The Power 50 Report" – the 50 most influential talk show hosts who also broadcast on the Internet and on mobile devices. Klein was one of three weekend hosts on the list.

Famous quotes containing the word radio:

    There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.
