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.

Where will us right winger teabaggers go now for our talking points and marching orders?

 

Im sure the DUmmies will be proclaiming this a major victory over at the DUmp.

We took Beck down!!  See, insulting old people in McDonald's DOES work!  /DU mode

[Traveshamockery]

Well, I guess it's back to watching Judge Judy.   

That, or Chris Matthews.

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.

I hope his replacement is someone else who will continue exposing Soros and the financial terrorism plots.

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.”

 E Cup? B  Cup?   Glenn who again??

Sorry I was distracted. You sayin S E Cupp works for Glenn?  Why was I not informed before this?   

I need to work on this dirty old man stuff, it ain't as easy as it looks.

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.

[BlueStateSaint]

Beck just said that he's leaving his program.  He's not leaving Fox.

[No Limit]

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?

You couldn't cut Bill Schulz out of the second pic?

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?

I've seen at least one lunatic liberal claim Beck is leaving in part because he's losing Fox money.

[Karin]

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.

Please, PLEASE pray that FOX doesn't put the smarmy Shepard Smith on in that time slot.

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

[namvet]

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.

yeah, that would explain why Fox and Beck's company are continuing to work together to produce more shows...
