Robert Ciro Gigante (March 14, 1929 – December 31, 2013), known as Bob Grant, was an American radio host. A veteran of broadcasting in New York City, Grant is considered a pioneer of the conservative talk radio format and was one of the early adopters of the "combat talk" format.[1][2][3] Grant's career spanned from the 1950s until shortly before his death at age 84 on December 31, 2013.[4][5][6]
Grant was widely termed a political conservative, and personally considered himself to be a conservative with some libertarian leanings.
