Vitriolic Fox News personality Bill O'Reilly is calling it quits. Unfortunately he's only retiring from the radio waves. O'Reilly will step down as the host of his syndicated talk radio show "The Radio Factor" early next year.
The radio show began in 2002 and runs on more than 400 radio stations, as well as satellite operator Sirius XM Radio Inc. It will end in the first quarter of 2009, Fox said late Thursday.
In a statement, O'Reilly said the workload has become too much, adding, "I can no longer give both TV and radio the time they deserve."
O'Reilly will continue hosting "The O'Reilly Factor" on the Fox News Channel and writing his weekly newspaper column.
