Radio

Belling has been with WISN since March 1989. Before joining WISN he was news and program director of WTDY in Madison, Wisconsin, where he began his talk radio career. Belling also served as a radio news director in Springfield, Illinois; St. Joseph, Michigan; Benton Harbor, Michigan; and Oshkosh, Wisconsin.[ citation needed ]

Belling currently hosts a three-hour weekday radio program, The Mark Belling Late Afternoon Show. He discusses a wide variety of topics on his program, including sports, music, Milwaukee area politics, Wisconsin politics, and national issues. Belling leans to the right politically, and he has been known to frequently criticize local and national Republicans for straying from conservative principles.[ citation needed ] He has been criticized for his anti-Semitic statements [2] and derogatory sexist language [3] but remains popular among local conservative groups.

Other media

In addition to his daily three-hour radio program, Belling was a guest-host for Rush Limbaugh's national radio program. [4] When doing so, WISN usually broadcast this program twice rather than have someone fill in for Belling.[ citation needed ]

Belling writes a weekly op-ed column for the Waukesha Freeman . It usually covers local politics or scandals but occasionally remarks on national headlines and even sports.[ citation needed ]

Belling previously hosted a Sunday-morning television panel, Belling and Company, on WISN-TV (Channel 12) until 2000 when it moved to WDJT (Channel 58). The television program was discontinued in 2007, reportedly due to editorial conflicts between Belling and the management of WDJT owner Weigel Broadcasting.[ citation needed ]
