You’ll still have his radio program and possibly his own news channel to kick around, though if Oprah couldn’t make her own channel work I don’t think Beck can.
In any case, the Fox show going under should take quite the burden off your shoulders, eh?

That is naive and wishful thinking. Wait and see what comes next. No matter what you think of him personally or how much you dislike his message, he is not gone. He may emerge stronger than ever.

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING OR TAPEING GLENN SINCE HIS FIRST SHOW. I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS BEING CANCELLED, BEING THE THIRD HIGHEST RATED SHOW (AND BY THE WAY, I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHO THE # ONE & TWO ARE!!!). IF THE REASON IS HIS SPONSERS, LET US KNOW WHO THEY ARE, SO WE CAN RESPOND TO THEM. IF IT IS GLENNS DECISION TO LEAVE, LET US KNOW THAT TOO. I HATE ALL THE SPECULATION. I LOVE AND ADMIRE HIN SOOOO MUCH!!! HE HAS BEEN SO INSPIRING, AND I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM HIM!! HE HAS MADE AMERICANS PROUD AGAIN…I DON’T KNOW WHERE THIS COMMENT GOES, OR IF GLENN EVER SEES OR HEARS OF IT, BUT IF HE DOES…..THANK YOU GLENN BECK AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!!! SINCERELY, BILLIE (HAND) RUSTIGAN
