After more than 87 sponsors fled Glenn Beck, it appears as though Fox News is left with unsold airtime during Beck’s show.

Lately, ads for The Foundation for a Better Life have been appearing on Glenn Beck’s show.  I contacted them regarding pulling their ads from the Glenn Beck show and here’s what they said (emphasis added):

I wanted to let you know that because we are a public service organization, we do not pay for any advertising at all (billboard space or TV airtime)—and we do not promote or partner with any organizations because of the agreements we have with those who donate their images to our billboard campaign and with those who donate the music for our TV spots.

We send our TV spots out to about 1700 TV stations across the country and if those stations have un-sold airtime available, they will often air our spots or another public service announcement. Therefore we do not dictate what channels we are on, what time we air, or what programs we air on—that is totally up to the stations.

Again, I want to re-iterate that we do not pay for advertising.

So, Fox News is running unpaid ads, which are usually run when a station has unsold airtime, during Glenn Beck’s show.  Something tells me that Fox News isn’t doing this out of the kindness of their heart…
