The possibility that Glenn Beck will exit the Fox News Channel at the end of the year has prompted a big question in media circles: if he leaves, how will he bring his considerable audience with him?

What gripes me is that he claims to have been a comedian in his past.
George Burns, Jack Benny and Rodney Dangerfield et. al are rolling over in their graves at that claim.
Roger that. I’d rather live next door to a 1000 Mormons than one progressive.
Maybe he could buy Oprah’s Channel—she seems to not be doing much with it.
Look, for eons if you listen to Glenn he has been enamoured with Oprah not personally, but how she built a multi-media empire. He wants to do the same, it is the next logical step for Mercury IMHO.
My guess is it would be in Texas or some other state, he is talking about buying a chuck of ranch type land, I can see him creating his own "Galt" on that and having the Mercury Productions Studio not to far away.
The other option is Oprah goes belly up with OWN as the ratings suck and she sells it to him.
Reading between the lines based on things that he has said, he seems to be trying to branch out and diversify as a way to protect himself from an ever-controlling centralized government. The Libs seem to have their hearts set on bringing back the Fairness Doctrine in any way they can. Front door, back door, legislative action, executive order, whatever. They don’t care as long as they get it and can silence people that they don’t agree with.
JMO.
Beck and Charlie Sheen opposite sides of the same idiocy.
I’d like Glenn to stay right where he is at Fox News... 5pm ET (or 8pm ET).
The Goldline one, and the one about the Holocaust survivors that need help.
We desperately need a 24 hour conservative news program. Why couldn’t it be completely Internet based. It would tank Fox’s ratings like the Titanic.

Glenn Beck on birther issue: ‘Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard’
This is why I will never listen or watch him again! Don’t care what he does.
Not just Beck but anyone who will not press the issue of Obama’s ineligibility.
Who will be his first hire? Alex jones or Art Bell?
I used to listen to GB and watch his show daily. He has gone down the conspiracy rabbit hole and I can’t watch him. If he is the voice of the conservative movement then the GOP is in trouble.
Free Republic now has thriving chapters of PDS and BDS...
Beck is the only show worth watching on FNC anymore...if he goes; then I won’t have any further use for FNC.
