Tix for Jimmy Failla's Next Trip to WIBX, Fat Katz Comedy Club

FOX Across America with Jimmy Failla will be spending an eventful weekend in Utica this February. Here are some things you should know if you want to listen, watch his stand up show, or participate in a meet and greet.

Failla is the host of the nationally syndicated radio program FOX Across America with Jimmy Failla which airs weekdays from noon until 3 p.m. on radio stations around the nation including Utica's WIBX 950 AM and 106.9 FM. Before becoming a nationally syndicated radio talkshow host, Failla was a taxi driver and a standup comedian.

Failla - a former head writer and on-air contributor for "Kennedy" on the Fox Business Network - says "Fox Across America" is best described as "a celebration of our unique American privilege, and will function as an audio safe space where people of all political persuasions can disagree and still get along!"

Today's political climate is sorely in need of talent with the unifying ability to allow both sides to debate the issues straight up.

7 AM - 9 AM

Failla's time in Utica will begin on First News with Keeler in the Morning at 7 a.m. on Friday, February 17th, where he'll co-host with Bill Keeler, Davey, and Jeff Monaski on WIBX. Listeners can call into the program by calling 315-736-0186.

Noon - 3 PM

Jimmy will once again broadcast his nationally syndicated program, FOX Across America with Jimmy Failla, inside WIBX's studios in Marcy. If you tune in, you'll surely hear Failla talk about his time in Utica, including the Utica food, the legendary studio, and his upcoming shows at Fat Katz Comedy Club in Washington Mills, which will happen Friday night and Saturday.

By the way, WIBX is one of the oldest radio stations in America. In just 3 years, the radio station will celebrate its centennial which has served the Utica-Rome-Mohawk Valley market continuously since signing on the air back on December 5th, 1925. In addition to WIBX's 950 AM transmitter, they have also added an FM signal at 106.9 FM, as well as an App that can be downloaded free at Google Play and the App Store. The Keeler Show broadcasts every morning on YouTube. Search Keeler livestream on YouTube to watch.
