I have a large amount of .wav files that are comprised of two channels of a recorded phone conversation. There is one file of the local side and one file of the remote side. I need these in one file and preferably something I can do with a batch.
What program might I use to do that? Thanks!

Even though Wave files are also RIFF containers like AVI, they do not mux together using the same manner, AFAIK. You CAN always use a mult-channel sound editor (or DAW) to create a MC stream from your combined files.

You could easily do this with Audacity. Import each audio track then either make them a stereo pair (ie, one track on the left, the other on the right) or simply mix them together. I've never used it but Audacity has some batch processing abilities.
I suspect you could also do it with ffmpeg but I don't know it well enough to give you a command line. -
Looks like mvalpreda found his/her solution elsewhere. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1671916#post1671916

I did an analysis of the 2 methods mentioned in that other thread (doom9's): Both actually mix/combine the streams. IOW, given a 2channel stream and another 2channel stream, the result is a 3rd, combined 2channel stream. NOT a 4channel stream (which is what "MUXING" would do). In fact, those 2 methods, as suggested, do nothing but an additive combine of equal (50/50) proportion, with no intrinsic safety mechanism for overflow (over 0dB) distortion.
Hence, using a multichannel audio editor would be the safest & most versatile. Particularly if you intended to get a 4channel output.
Using Audacity, one must explicitly modify the preferences to allow non-mixdown-to-stereo default and must also change the preferences for the Exported file format from WAV to WAVEX. Then and only then will you get a true, discreet 4-channel ".WAV" output from it. This must be done from a RECENT version, also.

<edit>Of course, if the OP never really meant MUX, but instead did want to simply mix down to 2, then all the other options are valid.</edit>
