Shouldn't John Batchelor be listed as Persian American? His mother was an Iranian national. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.146.74.221 ( talk) 22:56, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Awesome radio show. I'm just wondering if it's too good to be true.
Is it just me or didn't this show go by the name "Batchelor and Alexander" for a while surely its worth a mention...
Superb radio show BTW.
Cleaned it up a little, added links to a couple unlinked topics of interest, and added a citation needed to the 'ABC News asked Batchelor...' part - hadn't heard that before, and it would be a good idea to be able to verify that. Anyone? Chris Berry 04:08, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
So, on June 12th, an anonymous editor said that syndication would end in September. Anyone know what this is all about? I'm going to ask for a citation. User:Ke4djt 03:25 30 June 2006 (UTC)
I've deleted it. When I or another editor has some verification, it can go back in. patsw 20:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
This section was moved from the article:
Rumor has it that the Gaza kidnappers who kidnapped, and have since released, the Fox News journalist, Steve Centanni, and his camera man, Olaf Wiig, demanded that John Batchelor be taken off the air. There is however no official verification of this rumor. Batchelor held interviews with people, including terrorists, in theater, and many of his guests had intelligence they claimed was not appropriate for broadcast (such as troop locations, particularly during the recent Israeli war with Hizbollah). The logic follows that the demand for Batchelor's removal was prompted by his revealing potentially sensitive information on air. Batchelor never provided a clear explanation for the cancellation of the show, if that is indeed what happened. The rumor was revealed as part of the speculations of a guest on the show. When the comment was made, Batchelor neither confirmed nor denied its truth. Given the provocative nature of the rumor, the tone of the guest, and Batchelor's theatricality in general, its truth is ambiguous. As Batchelor himself says, "In war the first three reports are wrong." We might be well-advised to heed his words of caution.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.215.139.73 ( talk • contribs) with comments—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.249.125.65 ( talk • contribs)
Article now mentions that "some bloggers report that Batchelor is now back on XM". Is there any way to get this pinned down a little more accurately than this? I have an XM radio that's been little used of late--but I'd dig it out and get it hooked up to my antenna if I knew for sure that the show was back.
Anybody have a channel and time for this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.189.241.8 ( talk • contribs)
I believe "some bloggers" are looking at obsolete info. According to John Batchelor's web page, he is still not on the air. patsw 13:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Enough time, I believe, has passed to modify the article's grammatical tense from present to past with respect to his occupation as talk show host. Consensus? patsw 13:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
If there's no mention of Batchelor's affiliation in 2006 or 2007 with the Hoover Institution here, why is it referenced in the article? patsw 03:12, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Not sure why this would be, but as a habitual listener to the show when it was on the air, I remember distinctly when both he and his then co-host, Paul Alexander, were inducted as "Fellows" of the Hoover Institution. Many of John's guests were likewise Hoover fellows, and the program was occasionally broadcast from that location, as well.
I would assume that the new show, whenever it appears, will be some sort of professional quality "podcast", possibly as part of a whole "network" of related shows produced by the Hoover Institution and other affilated groups and think tanks. This appears to be hinted at, in the scant amount of information that is available.
If and when Batchelor gets a show, it should be added. The speculation from September 2006 to May 2007 about that possibility doesn't belong in the article. patsw 02:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
John Batchelor guest-hosted The Matt Drudge Show om WABC radio, 7-25-2007
John Loftus had a regular segment (the "Loftus Report") on the ABC Radio program, "The John Batchelor Show", for five years. The show had a national audience of 5,000,000. The show was cancelled in September 2006 with no explanation provided by the network. In the year since, there has been great anticipation for the return of the show and just last week Brian Lamb (a fan of the show) had John batchelor on C-SPAN to discuss the show, its cancellation/return, and existing audience. John Batchelor has recently made a flurry of appearances on the new "Loftus Report" program and this is very significant to the audiences of both Jonh Loftus and John Batchelor.

Are the new WABC and KFI shows identical, or two independent entities? I just got word of Batchelor's return to the air earlier this evening, in time to listen to most of the KFI show. Batchelor seemed to be giving out multiple station IDs during the broadcast--nevertheless, I find it hard to believe that he and his guests would participate in two entirely different shows. Perhaps the interviews are conducted earlier in the day/week, and there is some post-production to insert the station IDs. SteelWheel 05:16, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Aaron Klein appeared on the John Bachelor show this evening and broke news about Palestinian statehood negotiators bypassing negotiations with Israel and going directly to the UN to request statehood along the 1967 lines, with Obama administration approval about 2 weeks previously for doing so generally. (Not in so many words--that's just my recollection of what I heard.) Later that evening ABC News had the same story Klein broke. Now this is just happening, so I do not expect it on the this or the Aaron Klein page this minute, but I wanted to note I think it is very significant, Palestine getting statehood is very significant, and Aaron Klein broke that news on the John Batchelor show, which itself breaks news precisely because of the many contacts with whom Batchelor speaks, including Klein. Reliable sources are sure to follow, including WorldNetDaily. -- LegitimateAndEvenCompelling ( talk) 04:20, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
[http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=116154 Obama Green-Lights Arab Land Grab; But Israel Threatens Retaliation if U.N. Approves Palestinian State], by Aaron Klein, WorldNetDaily, 15 November 2009. -- LegitimateAndEvenCompelling ( talk) 04:24, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Wow, a novelist who was the toast of the cutting edge speculative fiction writing world, now working with drudge and supporting sarah palin. this article is all about his show, with no commentary on his extremely well received novels. I am speechless. Mercurywoodrose ( talk) 05:56, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
There are instances of numbers enclosed in brackets, a sure sign that text was cut-and-pasted wholesale from a digital source without proper attribution. This should be investigated and removed where appropriate. — Quicksilver T @ 03:34, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
I'd like to point out that John Batchelor sound exactly like Michael Emerson. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rscott1902 ( talk • contribs) 20:17, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
The section on “Show cancellation and subsequent return” says
But August 25 and September 1 are seven days apart, so they can’t be a Monday and a Friday. August 25, 2006 was actually a Friday, so presumably this should read either “Friday, August 25” or “Monday, August 28.” I don’t know which is correct, but it can’t be right as is. — Dodiad ( talk) 19:00, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Is Fentanyl just another "invasion," by the Chinese to weaken US? One by one they are killing anyone dumb enough to take it. Terrorists like body counts...how does this differ? 2600:1700:62C0:1640:C5BF:7885:B32E:449E ( talk) 11:32, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
