Glenn Beck announced today that he is launching an online TV channel.

Looks like he is supporting all the Apple iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod) & Roku.

Will enough people be willing to pay for this?

[Semper911]

Not me. I don’t need to be lectured to and bitched at by anyone.

[Paladin2]

Pay? In addition to hearing/watching commercials?

[Scythian]

I like Glenn, but if he left FoxNews for a pay-per-view website what a dumb mistake. Granted, he had a terrible time slot at Fox.

However, the Radio show is where he needs to be ...

[Albion Wilde]

When I think what I used to spend every year on Newsweek, USNews, Rolling Stone, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal in the 70s and 80s... It might be a bargain.

I agree. Dumb mistake. Have they announced who is taking over his time slot on FOX?

[cripplecreek]

Pretty much everything he’s touched has turned to gold.

I was afraid he’d go this direction. Bad idea, but then again, I’m one of the millions of Americans STILL on dial-up (as our only viable option) and won’t be able to access this site.
Oh, well, I wish him success, nevertheless.

Actually, Beck is very smart to leave FOX right now.

FOX is old and crumbling. Everyone there is old (50 >) and out of touch. O'Reilly & Krauthammer for example.

They have drifted to the left. They are no longer conservative.

The problem is the lack of advertising.

[shove_it]

Maybe he can get Boehner on as a regular for cry-offs.

[Lazlo in PA]

Glenn is losing Radio stations in big markets and he thinks people are going to pay for this service in droves? I don’t see it. This will fail.

How much? How much to be a GBTV insider? How much to be a GBTV insider plus? How much for the optional GBTV insider magazine? How much for the GBTV live show coming to a theater not near you?
And has Glenn started the book on how he started GBTV.com?

[Minus_The_Bear]

Beck isn't the first to do this.

Revision3 & Twit.tv have been doing this for years. Glenn Beck just found out about it.

His banner ad on Drudge right now is pretty darn creative....

[dalebert]

when is he leaving fox?

[penelopesire]

Yep...I might join.

the Radio show is where he needs to be

I listened to his radio show several years ago. I never could get much more than him rambling and talking with his cohost about stuff that had no general interest.

His FoxNews program was good, at first, but got to be repetitious and too didactic. I haven't watched it in months.
