Steve Adams,general manager of Talk WEEB 990 AM, announced Wednesday The Herman Cain Show, will be replacing The Glenn Beck Show, beginning Monday, April 18.

“We feel that Glenn’s show has evolved into a program that is no longer conducive with the WEEB schedule of programs,” Adams said. “We carry a wide variety of programs, including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Michael Savage, and Alan Colmes. Over the last year, we have received an overwhelming number of complaints concerning the content of The Glenn Beck Show.”

Adams said the station has talked to Beck’s vice president of programming about listener’s concerns.

“We told him that Glenn’s show seems to have evolved into a three-hour hate Trump format, and when he isn’t Trump bashing, and demeaning Trump supporters, he’s literally teaching a Bible study course on the air. I enjoy a good Bible study and there is a place for that,” Adams said. “That belongs on a Christian talk station, and not a news talk station.”

Adams pointed out that Rush Limbaugh is a Ted Cruz supporter, just like Beck is, but Limbaugh treats both candidates fairly on his program.

“I think Glenn needs to step back and actually listen to one of his programs. Sometimes it is pure hate being preached in his microphone. I do not have a problem with Glenn supporting Ted Cruz, but I do have a problem when he calls non-supporters ‘idiots,’ which he does quite often,” Adams said.

It’s about time~!!! now if we can get rid of Levin and Limebaugh....we might have something decent to listen to...

[jazusamo]

Beck is totally over the edge, he needs to seek help.

[Fhios]

Too late for Beck. 3 strikes and you’re out. Cruz has him hanging from his neck like a dead Albatross. Like Trump has been Carson stuck to the bottom of his shoe.

“We are moving into a new direction, Mr. Beck, and we are ever so grateful that you helped us out for that dark period of financial uncertainty. You will always have a place in our collective corporate hearts. Now, if you would please remove yourself and your staff from our office by lunchtime today..

Beck has really become derailed since moving to Texas. I don’t think I could listen to a three hour rant like he is doing now for any other candidate either.
It sounds mentally disturbed.
Stu and his other sidekick must be concerned too.

[mowowie]

lol

[smoothsailing]

I can’t listen to him at all anymore

[kosciusko51]

Good. The only thing redeeming about him was his defense of Terri Schiavo. He lost me a long time ago when he started to take himself seriously.

[LostInBayport]

I hope Sirius/XM does the same thing on the Patriot Channel!

I like Wilkow and can listen to an hour of Hannity, but I cannot tolerate Glenn Beck and his unfunny “humor” and cringe-worthy drama queen ranting.

Almost anybody else would be an improvement, content-wise.

[I want the USA back]

Beck has become insane.

[Gay State Conservative]

Herman Caine is far better than Beck.

[fatima]

Well in this case I agree with Beck.Some people might not like what he has to say but he has a right to say it.If stations drop him so be it.I do admire him for his convictions but do not agree with him.Go for it Beck,been there done that.Say it Beck.

beck has done this to himself with this cruz kookiness. He is very unstable IMO.

[zaxtres]

They replaced limbaugh here with Loesch. Its like listening to Beck juniorette. So hope you don’t get her. She is in favor of gun rights but that’s all she has going for her. Well that and she is another hot looking conservative woman buts its radio and you don’t want to listen to her when she starts screeching about god knows what.

[Rastus]

She’s in Beck’s Blaze stable, so it makes sense.

[HarleyLady27]

I had to program my radio so when Beck comes on IHeart (Romney owned) station, it would turn off before I had to wake up to that idiot...lolol...

I wish we could get Hermain Cain here...

The response WEEB heard from Glenn when the station rep phoned him with the bad news.
