Pioneering radio host Barry Farber, who hosted a conservative talk show for decades in New York City and ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 1977, has died
.
Farber died of natural causes at his home in New York on Wednesday, a day after his 90th birthday, his daughter, Celia Farber, said. Raised in Greensboro, North Carolina, Farber worked in New York City for his entire career and was still doing a regular digital talk show for CRN up until last week. Injuries from a fall hastened his demise, his daughter said.
He began on the air at WINS-AM, the only talk host on a rock 'n' roll station. Farber moved to WOR-AM in 1962 and worked in the evening and through the night. He left the station for his mayoral run and, after losing as a Conservative Party candidate to Democrat Ed Koch with 4 percent of the vote, went to work for WMCA-AM for 11 years.Farber was a traditional conservative working in one of the nation's most liberal cities.
Farber was past his peak of influence by the time conservative talk radio became an industry that made national stars of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. He would joke about "being big in the old days and old in the big days," Harrison said.in a 2012 interview. "It never occurred to us."
