Bill Cunningham (talk show host)

William Daniel Cunningham (born December 11, 1947) is an American radio and television talk show host, conservative commentator, attorney, and entrepreneur.

(Both WLW and Premiere Networks are subsidiaries of iHeartMedia, Inc.) On television he hosted The Bill Cunningham Show that aired for an hour on weekdays on The CW from 2011 to 2016.

[2] Cunningham did a stint as a staff attorney with the Legal Aid Society of Cincinnati-Public Defender Division.

Currently, Cunningham works in the law firm of Steven R. Adams, which specializes in criminal defense and DUI cases.

"[6] In December 2003, Cunningham created a parody song mocking Nathaniel Jones, a man killed by Cincinnati police, with lyrics including: "The fat man ever after has a martyr's place/ Let's all ignore whatever drugs he had...His death was unrelated to his injuries but still we hear the people sing police brutality/ lies go on bro la la how the lies go on.

[11][12] Another Cunningham statement that has been criticized was his claim on the January 4, 2009, WLW show that poor people "lack values, ethics and morals.

"[13][14] These statements, also including comparisons between Obama and Hitler and suggesting that Obama wanted to murder Jews the way Hitler did, led to Cunningham being named "one of the most prolific purveyors of hate speech" by a left-leaning media watchdog group Media Matters.

[15] In October 2022, on his radio show Cunningham promoted the widely debunked litter boxes in schools hoax, stating that litter boxes were being provided in schools for students dressing up as cats to defecate in, while interviewing Ohio Republican Senate candidate JD Vance.

This segment has Cunningham riffing on current events in a humorous way, often joined by sports talk host Bill "Seg" Dennison and anyone else in the studio.

[20] On May 27, 2016, Cunningham announced that he mutually agreed to cancel his own talk show, which ended on September 9, 2016.

[26] He is married to his high school sweetheart, Judge Penelope R. Cunningham of the Ohio District Courts of Appeals.
