Nathan began his career in radio as a DJ at 1480 WPWC Radio in Dumfries, VA, and it was there where he aired his first talk show, Profile and Comment With Alan Nathan. Soon after, he adapted this program to public access television and caught the attention of legendary columnist and then anchor personality, Jack Anderson. Based on Mr. Anderson's experience as a guest on "Profile and Comment", Nathan was hired as a correspondent on the Financial News Network's "Insiders With Jack Anderson."

In 1998, Nathan started "Spanking the Left and Right," a local show on WZHF 1390 AM in the Washington, D.C. market. He was soon picked up by the Radio America Network and became the syndicated weekend host of "Battling The Left And Right." In 2000, that show also became a daily program and was renamed "Battle Line with Alan Nathan."

Wanting to commit more time to his columns, Nathan decided that effective September 4 2006, he would cease "Battle Line's" daily syndication but continue its long running syndicated weekend edition on Radio America.

Talkers Magazine rated Nathan as one of the Top 100 Talk Hosts in America for 2002, 2003 and 2005.
