Mark Riley (born September 22, 1951) is an American journalist and commentator. Mark Riley is an award-winning broadcaster with 30+ years of experience hosting and directing radio programs and pioneering media strategies that attract a loyal, diverse audience. In addition to his work as a broadcaster, Mark Riley Media has achieved great accomplishments in political consulting, media training, and writing for print, web, radio and TV.
On air, Mark is currently the host/presenter of WWRL 1600 AM's morning drive talk program. He is still remembered as a pioneer host of a four-hour evening news, interview, comment, and culture program, "The Air Americans," on the now-defunct liberal talk radio network Air America Radio. His work at Air America also included co-hosting the network's morning-drive show, "Morning Sedition" with stand-up comic Marc Maron.
Riley was also employed by WLIB 1190AM in New York City, where he worked for 33 years as a broadcast journalist, program director and air personality. He has also worked with Richard Bey co-hosting the morning drive program at WWRL 1600AM New York.
As a player Riley played for Claremont in the WAFL, at junior levels, but never played league football after badly injuring his knee. He then played Sunday league football as well as cricket, including being selected for a state squad. As a teacher, he then moved to small rural towns including Hyden, Narrogin and Kellerberrin. At Kellerberrin he coached Gerard Neesham and built up a friendship that would later see Riley take over from Neesham as coach of Claremont when Neesham was appointed coach of the newly formed Fremantle Football Club in mid-1994. Riley would lead Claremont to the 1994 WAFL Grand Final, but they lost to East Fremantle.
A scrum-half/halfback, Riley enjoyed a particularly successful season with the then London Crusaders in 1990-91, when he and wingMark Johnson each challenged for the title of leading try-scorer in the second tier of English rugby league. He later went onto play a part in a successful promotion winning season with Swinton Lionsin 1996, breaking the clubs most tries in a match record, scoring 6 vs Prescot Panthers, 11 August 1996.
