Who is this?
John Calvin Batchelor (born April 29, 1948) is an American author and the host of Eye on the World on the CBS Audio Network. The show is a hard-news-analysis radio program on current events, world history, global politics and natural sciences. For five years, from early 2001 to September 2006, based at WABC radio in New York, his radio program The John Batchelor Show was syndicated nationally on the ABC Radio Network. On October 7, 2007, Batchelor returned to radio on WABC, and later to other large market stations on a weekly basis. As of November 30, 2009, Batchelor was once again hosting a nightly show on WABC, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Eastern Time and heard in many major markets across the country through what eventually became the Westwood One network. The program for a time was heard seven nights a week, using prerecorded material on weekends. Later, it aired Monday through Friday on WABC and many Westwood One network affiliates. Batchelor describes the show as a "news magazine" since he does not take phone calls from listeners but does a series of interviews with guests and reporters. The show's run on Westwood One ended in March 2021 as part of a reorganization at WABC, after which Batchelor almost immediately began his current show with CBS.
