WMCA changed its format to Christian radio. In 1990, he became a national talk-show host on the ABC Radio Network, which was trying to build a group of nationwide talk shows at the time. Lynn Samuels, a liberal, was forced to share her local 770 WABC show with Farber which led to on-air confrontations, and resulted in her departure from the station. ABC's project later was abandoned, and Farber, Michael Castello, and Alan Colmes got together and quickly formed their own independent network called Daynet. He eventually joined Talk Radio Network as a weekend and fill-in host until that network ceased operations in 2017. Farber then moved to CRN Digital Talk Radio Networks, hosting a one-hour weekday show. Early in the 1970s, Farber was an adjunct professor of journalism at St. John's University in New York. Often, his former students were heard calling his radio program with admiring words and memories. On the radio, Farber became easily identifiable by his unique combination of drawn-out Southern drawl, intense delivery, verbose prose, and quick wit. Sponsors loved his ability to deliver a live commercial spot, often ad-libbed, and make whatever the particular product was sound tantalizing; he always sounded like he truly believed in the product. In 1991 he was named "Talk Show Host of The Year" by the National Association of Radio Talk Show Hosts. In 2008 Farber married Sara Pentz, a television news reporter and journalist. Farber was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2014. Political philosophy and career In his youth, Farber fell in love with Norway, marrying Norwegian national Ulla Fahre. He embraced the Social Democracy popular in that Scandinavian nation. During the 1960s, his political commentary combined militant opposition to Soviet Communism with lavish praise for the achievements of Social Democracy, which he patriotically hoped America would one day adopt. But when the long-incumbent Swedish Social Democrats faced defeat at the polls, he began to re-examine his beliefs and would come to advocate the liberal economics popular among those called conservatives in America. At one time a Democrat, in 1970 he ran for the U.S. House of Representatives in New York City's 19th district as the candidate of the Republican and Liberal parties, in a lively uphill race. His main opponent was Liberal Democrat Bella Abzug, the victor. In 1977, Farber left his talk-radio career for a time to run for Mayor of New
