Glenn Beck to End Daily Fox News Program

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. The statement did not specify an end date for the show, called “Glenn Beck,” which has been telecast at 5 p.m. on Fox News since early 2009.

Fox News and Mercury Radio Arts, which have sometimes 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 statement was briefly posted on The Blaze, a Web site owned by Mr. Beck, but it was then taken down. Representatives for Fox and Mr. Beck did not immediately explain why.

--------------------------------------------------------

No word on yet what the exact date will be or what he will be doing post-FNC.

I saw the AP article on this.  Supposedly, Beck will be working with FNC on other projects.  Hopefully, one of those will be putting the incredibly hot S. E. Cupp in front of the camera.

NEW YORK— FOX News and Mercury Radio Arts, Glenn Beck’s production company, are proud to announce that they will work together to develop and produce a variety of television projects for air on the FOX News Channel (FNC) as well as content for other platforms including FOX News’ digital properties. Glenn intends to transition off of his daily program, the third highest rated in all of cable news, later this year.

Roger Ailes, Chairman and CEO of FOX News said, “Glenn Beck is a powerful communicator, a creative entrepreneur and a true success by anybody’s standards.  I look forward to continuing to work with him.”

Glenn Beck said, “I truly believe that America owes a lot to Roger Ailes and FOX News. I cannot repay Roger for the lessons I’ve learned and will continue to learn from him and I look forward to starting this new phase of our partnership.”

Liberals are already doing the victory/pissing dance.

Then again, I commented on one of my liberal friend's FB page when he was doing his little dance.  I suggested they run a test pattern on FNC from 5-6 PM EDT, but that it would still probably draw better ratings than MSNBC.

I think he's gonna unfriend me soon.

Here is my theory:

He saw that movie about 2012 being the end of times and wanted time off to spend a year in a bunker. I just hope he remembered his survival backpack.

So which do you prefer--gold paint or model glue?

Model glue is so seventies, I am guessin it's whippets or nothin for today's urban gorilla /guerrilla (they want to be the latter but usually smell like the former).  

I confess to never ( well hardly ever ) watching Beck on TV.  But he is on the radio three hours a day which I sometimes listen to.   Then too, I never watched Limbaugh on TV either.

I am forced to ask myself, "Why?"

The answer is simple. Murdoch would not remove such a powerful propaganda machine from the air waves unless he could replace it with something even more powerful. The article suggests that Beck will be producing programming, and even appearing in other shows. Ciizen's United makes it legal for Fox News to produces political infomercials. That is my bet as to which direction Beck is headed.

Where do you stand on Joe Iosbaker and Stephanie Weiner providing material support for terrorism?

Remember when S.E. Cupp was subbing for Andy, and she did the post game wrap-up with her feet on the desk?  Hawt. 

Well, as Glenn said last night, Paul Revere eventually got off his horse and went and fought the war, then went back to silversmithing.  Libs can dance all they want, Lord knows they need the exercise.  It won't change a thing.  Let's see what he does next.

Frankly, I always wondered why they didn't swap--Shep at 5, Beck at 7.  Oh, the ratings that might have been.

I heard his ratings were down 30% from last year. but the advertisers were pulling out. that's the best way to get rid of someone. the bottom line.

AMEN, Brotha!! I hated Beck's time frame. 4 PM Central just sucked. A 6 PM central time slot ?? One wonders what the ratings would have been!! Then his alternate time slot  was terrible, too. (1:00 AM Central)

Dammit, I never saw that one, but now I'm oh so curious. I like your train of thought, Karin. ;)

I'll be keeping tabs on Beck.

After all, because of him, I learned to be a facist, racist, rethuglican, hate monger. [/DU Mode]

Who needs gold paint when you can have gold coins officially endorsed by Glenn Beck? Although gold paint is probably worth more.

Krylon Gold paint is $3.93 for a 4 ounce can, or 98 cents per ounce.

Glenn backs everything he says up, often with video and audio of the people in question. Stephen Lerner, Samantha Powers, George Soros, etc. He is not a simple conspiracy theorist.
