ABOUT bill
Bill Spadea is the top morning drive talk show host in New Jersey on NJ101.5 FM and a television host on NEWSMAX. He also hosted a successful FOX TV show called “Chasing News with Bill Spadea.” Over his 30-plus-year career, he has done a little bit of everything, serving as a media personality, political strategist, analyst, candidate for office, business executive, and entrepreneur.
In 2025, Spadea campaigned for Governor of New Jersey, running as a populist, pro-life conservative, and results-driven candidate to fix the broken government in Trenton. He earned more than 101,000 votes, with thousands of Democrats and Unaffiliated voters changing their registration to vote for him in the Republican primary. Although he placed second and returned to radio and TV, his ideas and practical solutions dominated the political conversation throughout the campaign.
Throughout his career, he has been a tireless advocate for young mothers, supporting Pregnancy Resource Centers, which provide women with unplanned pregnancies the support and care they need to bring their babies into the world.
Spadea is well known for his strong stance against ‘Covid’ mandates, advocating for opening businesses and schools and rejecting harmful policies driven by overzealous politicians and fear-mongering corporate media. His strength in the face of
overwhelming opposition resulted in dramatic increases in market share and revenue for his show and company. Today he remains among the most well-known and popular media hosts in New Jersey with an audience equally divided among Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. He continues to use his media platforms to promote common sense and opposition to ‘groupthink.’
Spadea also launched a successful film production company, producing and selling several “Thriller” movies which can be seen on Lifetime TV and TUBI. However, before moving into film, television, and radio, Spadea worked in real estate for 18 years, coaching, recruiting, and selling. His stage performances include hosting political and charity events, music festivals, and live comedy and variety shows in the New York/New Jersey area. He has a B.A. from Boston University and received an honorable discharge from the United States Marine Corps Reserves after serving eight years. Bill has been married to Jodi for 31 years and lives in Princeton, NJ. Their son, Michael, graduated from San Diego State University in 2025 and immediately began a career at a major financial company in California. Their daughter, Elizabeth, graduated from the University of the Arts in London, launched a successful career as a producer and brand manager in the UK, and married her husband, Charlie, in 2024.
