"That’s what makes no sense he was getting stellar rating but no ad revenue?"

Those boycotts worked. Big name advertisers didn't want to associate with his program, so Fox had to settle for some of the ones that have already been mentioned - PetMeds, Goldline et. al.

There's a reasonable, even likely chance that whomever replaces Beck will double (or more) the ad revenue, even though they may not reach the same level of ratings.

Of course, Beck has been getting almost the exact same number of viewers as Bret Baier and Shephard Smith's 7pm show. I think his replacement will probably do the same without the advertiser problems.

I doubt a Shepard Smith @ 5pm will get the ratings Beck got. Ad revenue will possibly be higher if this so called boycott is lifted. How long has this been going on, as I have never heard Beck mention this on his radio show.

Public bet. How much?

You’re wrong, of course.
Unless he is replaced by someone LIKE him or better. Say.... Levin.

Who could possibly get better ratings in that slot than Beck. John Gibson couldn’t do it and Laura Ingraham completely bombed in that slot.
