Glenn Beck leaving his FauxNews Channel Show NEW YORK — Glenn Beck is leaving his Fox News Channel show later this year.
The network and Beck's company, Mercury Radio Arts, announced the departure on Wednesday. Fox and the company said they will work together to create other projects for Fox News television and digital.
Beck became a sensation almost immediately after jumping from HLN to Fox for an afternoon program. Lately his viewership has declined. He had faced an advertiser boycott that limited the amount of companies that wanted to be a part of his show after saying President Barack Obama had a "deep-seated hatred for white people."
Beck said that he "cannot repay (Fox News chief) Roger (Ailes) 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."
Interesting to see both Olberman and Beck out within months of each other.
One scenario has them both laying low until the 2012 election cycle. Or the Beck move might be more financially motivated, he will revamp his show but own it himself and sell the rights for Fox or someone else to broadcast it.
BTW, his ratings are down, but still very good for a cable broadcast and beat any MSNBC programming. Personally I thought his act grows tired quickly and only watched it for a week on my DVR.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
He could even become a preacher. He's been moving that direction.
Talk about a Messiah.
So you must have watched him on a fairly regular basis to be so tired of his blackboard? And Beck doesn't need to work another day in his life, unlike Olberman, Beck actually had an audience and still does on radio. His biggest accomplishment in my opinion was to raise the blood pressure on liberals and he forced them to waste time bitching about him. Very funny if you think about it.
