Glenn Beck will end his daily Fox News Channel program later this year.

His departure was jointly announced in a statement on Wednesday by Fox and Mr. Beck’s company, Mercury Radio Arts.

Fox News and Mercury Radio Arts, which have clashed over the making of “Glenn Beck,” will “work together to develop and produce a variety of television projects for air on the Fox News Channel as well as content for other platforms including Fox News’ digital properties,” the companies said in the statement.

As expected, a senior Fox News executive, Joel Cheatwood, will join Mr. Beck at Mercury Radio Arts starting later this month.

The joint statement did not specify an end date for Mr. Beck’s show, called “Glenn Beck,” which has been telecast at 5 p.m. on Fox News since early 2009. Asked if Fox News had a rough end date for “Glenn Beck,” a spokeswoman referred back to the statement. Mr. Beck’s contract with Fox ends in December.

What I can't figure out is where are they going to find another guy who is also named Glenn Beck to take over the Glenn Beck show?

As Oberman used to point out regularly, Beck contradicted everything he supposedly stood for when he had the mouth piece of headline news. I guess he somewhat swung back in that direction with the conspiracy* talk and flat out bug eyed craziness. I never watched a full show of his on either network and I think that people like him who have a strong following on radio represent the sad shape of the average listener's level of intelligence.

*Yes, I realize that some conspiracy stuff is outrageous and it seeks to make sense of just about everything with the idea that there must be a man under the earth turning a donkey wheel. :D
