Literally hundreds of advertisers are boycotting Glenn Beck’s show.  But, did you know…

This Friday, April 9, the broadcast of Glenn Beck’s show in the U.K. will have run without any commercials for two months thanks to your efforts.

The Fox News Channel is broadcast in the U.K, which means Glenn Beck is as well.  With the assistance of the StopBeck – UK Effort, participants in the StopBeck Effort reached out and urged advertisers to stop sponsoring Mr. Beck’s vitriol, sexism and preying on racial anxieties.  Once aware of the irresponsible indecency they were associating their brands with, advertisers were quick to flee – some of them leaving Fox News as a whole.

Your efforts were so effective that beginning February 9, the U.K. broadcast of Glenn Beck’s show rant without commercials.  In other words, a total advertiser blackout for Mr. Beck in the U.K. And, because we’ve made it clear that we’re not going anywhere, it remains that way.  Glenn Beck’s lost advertisers at home and abroad are a real consequence caused by Mr. Beck’s willful distortions and irresponsible vitriol.  And, in keeping Glenn Beck, Fox must continue to hold its nose and absorb the associated financial losses.

You can learn how to participate in and strengthen the StopBeck effort here.

Many thanks to all those participating in this effort! Your tweets and emails to sponsors do matter.

Shout outs to Color of Change, Media Matters and SEIU for their work in stopping Glenn Beck too.

Onward we go…
