Title: Glenn Beck Leaving Fox? Post by: Howey on March 23, 2011, 09:03:56 am http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/23/business/media/23beck.html
Why not? His rating are down, advertisers are running away in droves, and he's been fussing with Fox. Worked for Oprah, right? (nope) Quote The possibility that Glenn Beck will exit the Fox News Channel at the end of the year has prompted a big question in media circles: if he leaves, how will he bring his considerable audience with him? Two of the options Mr. Beck has contemplated, according to people who have spoken about it with him, are a partial or wholesale takeover of a cable channel, or an expansion of his subscription video service on the Web. Reports this week that Joel Cheatwood, a senior Fox News executive, would soon join Mr. Beck’s growing media company, Mercury Radio Arts, were the latest indication that Mr. Beck intended to leave Fox, a unit of the News Corporation, when his contract expired at the end of this year. Notably, Mr. Beck’s company has been staffing up — making Web shows, some of which have little or nothing to do with Mr. Beck, and charging a monthly subscription for access to the shows.

Beckerhead is selling snake oil, which is a shame. I used to listen to his radio show about 5 to 7 years ago, when he was pro health care and was sane. I used to think his Fox show was a bit but I think he has bought into his whole conspiracy guy persona. Buy Gold! Title: Re: Glenn Beck Leaving Fox?

I also use to think he was an actor with hidden talents that would make any of the Hollywood elite envious, but like you...I think he turned a bat shit crazy corner and has been completely absorbed by his own crap. I watch him several times a week, because it makes me laugh, but lately...I haven't laughed as much as I've caught myself feeling creeped out at his words, instead of the comedy gold that use to draw me. |
