Many more joined under a deal struck between Fox and Clear Channel Communications (now iHeartMedia), the largest owner of radio stations in America.

After listener demand, along with some FNC hosts wanting listeners of both services to have access, the exclusivity deal was broken and the FNC simulcast returned to Sirius on March 14, 2006, along with the new Fox News Talk channel.

In April 2006, morning show host Tony Snow left the network when he became White House Press Secretary.

Ten years later, Sullivan left Fox News in 2017 to join a national syndicator with his radio show.

Also carried was Westwood One's syndicated The Radio Factor with former FNC personality Bill O'Reilly.

O'Reilly was moved out of the live time slot on January 15, 2009, anticipating his departure from the show on February 26 of that year.

However, the Fox News Talk name remains as part of an internal distribution service Fox Corporation provides though its existing audio distribution agreement with iHeartMedia for its talk shows.

Affiliates also have access to a web site with a constantly updating selection of newsmaker audio and correspondent reports.

In February 2017 the audio version eliminated the commercial break at the two-minute mark, so that the newscast ran for only four minutes.

Newscasts are regularly anchored by Dave Anthony, Lisa Brady, Lisa Lacerra, Chris Foster, Pam Puso, Paul Stevens, Jack Callaghan, Carmen Roberts, Lilian Woo and Chris DeMeo.

Sullivan continues on his flagship Sacramento radio stations KFBK and KFBK-FM, and affiliates via syndication by Talk Media Network.

[7] Todd Starnes provided weekday commentaries and hosted the 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. show from July 2017 until October 2019 when he was fired by Fox News for remarks made during a Fox Nation discussion in which Starnes agreed with a guest that Democrats worship Moloch, an ancient demon god.

[10] During prime time hours, the AM/FM syndicated version of Fox News Radio carries the audio from Fox News Channel's commentary programs (The Five, Tucker Carlson Tonight, Hannity and The Ingraham Angle) on a delay.

The SiriusXM version of the Fox News Talk offers these feeds live on Sirius XM channel 114, so the Sirius XM Channel 450 feed instead carries repeats of Fox News Talk's daytime radio shows.

The agreement also included Fox News primetime programming to be made available on-demand via SiriusXM and Pandora.
