Radio career
In November 2009, Kuhner became the host of The Kuhner Show, on 570 WTNT in Washington, D.C. The show was canceled after WTNT became a sports station in September 2010. Kuhner began a regular feature on WRKO in Boston, called The Kuhner Report, in which he called into the WRKO Morning Show with reports on national politics. In 2012, he began hosting his own show on WRKO, still called The Kuhner Report. Initially, he had two disconnected morning hours;[15] in October 2012, the show moved to the 6 to 10 am time slot,[16] in July 2015, the show moved to the midday slot (noon to 3 pm) as WRKO stopped carrying Rush Limbaugh,[17] and on 26 November 2018, the show moved back to morning drive time.
In September 2017, Kuhner confronted Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren in the hallway of WRKO and said it was hypocritical to criticize the wealthiest "One Percent" of Americans in view of her own net worth.[18] Sen. Warren rebutted the charge.[19]
Kuhner writes an occasional column on partisan politics called "Kuhner's Corner", carried on the WRKO website[20] and on local niche media such as the Boston Broadside.
In addition to his own shows, Kuhner has guest-hosted The Howie Carr Show on WRKO, and syndicated programs The Mark Levin Show and The Savage Nation.
Personal life
Kuhner is married to Dr. Grace Vuoto, a former editorial writer for The Washington Times.[21] and has been a university professor of Modern British and European History.[22] She has hosted conservative talk shows on WBIX[23] and WMEX, and has also been a content producer. She often calls The Kuhner Report, identified as "Doctor Grace," though Kuhner typically drops hints after the call that the caller is his wife. The couple have two children, Ashton and Eva, who figure as examples in many of Kuhner's presentations.
Kuhner was naturalized as a U.S. citizen in the summer of 2016.
