He is also a commentator/contributor for Fox News Channel. Cunningham has won the National Association of Broadcasters Marconi Award for Large-Market Personality of the Year twice, in 2001 and in 2009. Law Cunningham was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1975 after graduating from the University of Toledo College of Law. Cunningham did a stint as a staff attorney with the Legal Aid Society of Cincinnati-Public Defender Division. He then served in the office of the Ohio Attorney General as Assistant Attorney General from 1978 to 1986 under Attorneys General William J. Brown and Anthony J. Celebrezze Jr. Currently, Cunningham works in the law firm of Steven R. Adams, which specializes in criminal defense and DUI cases. Radio Cunningham has been on 50,000-watt radio station 700 WLW for over 30 years, beginning in 1983. His first regular show on the station was at night, generally from 9:00 p.m. until midnight. His show was not heard during the summer months, when WLW broadcasts Cincinnati Reds baseball games. In the late 1990s, Cunningham's show was moved to early afternoons, which put his show directly opposite that of one of his favorite radio presenters, Rush Limbaugh, whose show is heard on sister station WKRC. Cunningham's WLW show went on a brief hiatus in June 2010 due to a contract dispute. Soon after, WLW's owner, Clear Channel, announced that he signed a long-term agreement to stay with the station. In released remarks commenting on his decision, Cunningham said, "Cincinnati is my home. The first air I breathed. The first milk I drank was from Cincinnati. Others may have come as carpetbaggers to loot the Queen City and then move on. Willie will remain true." Controversies Watchdog group Media Matters has called Cunningham "one of the most prolific purveyors of hate speech". In December 2003, Cunningham created a parody song mocking Nathaniel Jones, a man killed by Cincinnati police,
