Glenn Beck Contemplates Starting Own Channel

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?

[wintertime]

Yes,..Rush was a big hit. There was a huge demand for his content.

Just this year I bought an Orik ( sp?) sweeper because I remember hearing about that brand on Rush.

Keep your eye on Brietbart...

One more thing:

I can't stand listening to Fox. The few times a year I do get to see snippets of it, those liberal commentators just set my teeth on edge. And...I can't stand OReilly for even an half minute.

[wintertime]

I pray that God will send **someone** soon!

FNC is unwatchable as it is with the parade of libtards all day long. I rejoice in their demise.

I know a woman who watches MSNBC and CNN. She even watched Olbermann. Her opinion is that Fox News is right wing. She trashes Glenn Beck, even though she has never seen his show. She voted for obama.

I've known another woman for years, and I got into it with her about obamacare. She loves it. She watches CNN and volunteered for Hillary.

I have an aunt who I think was a democrat, and she moved to Massachusetts to be near her adult children after her husband died. They are very upset that she's watching Fox News because they're liberals and watch CNN. They vote democrat. My aunt has been criticizing obama, and they blame Fox News.

“The article contains nothing but the writer’s speculation about speculation”

Exactly. Glenn put down the last rumor generated by the NYT. I am sure he will do the same with this one.

[Jedidah]

That’s the best thing about Beck’s approach.

He doesn’t just say what he thinks — although he does plenty of that. Rather, he lets people hang themselves with their own words, either audio or video.

Better than fiction, or worse, depending on how you look at it. And definitely scarier than a horror movie, because he reveals the monsters among us.

First of all, Glenn Beck is the ONLY person on FOX News breaking news, and his the only show I watch on that channel.

Not one other person, host, or show on that channel is worth watching, not at all.

Why should a person of this caliber associate himself with the rest of the blathersnogs of Fox news? Seriously he runs so many circles around them, he may as well be an F5 tornado.

Secondly, wherever Glenn goes, I’ll watch him or listen or read.

[Walts Ice Pick]

I think Glenn has been on his own channel for quite some time already.

[Catsrus]

I’d love an all conservative channel that wouldn’t be afraid to talk about some of the subjects that seem taboo - even for FOX News.

IMO, they are leaning a little too far left for my tastes. So, I don’t watch FNC any more either.

If Beck could pull this off-it would be great. He researches what he posts on The Blaze, and has his i’s dotted and t’s crossed.

I'm waiting for the Time's 3rd installment of their Beck sage, when they report he's leaving Fox to join the WWF.

[Minus_The_Bear]

I don't agree with everything Beck says... & I agree he should stop pushing his religion.

1. Beck cannot reach as many viewers online unless he starts pushing a broadcast via ROKU or another set-top box.

2. Nobody wants to advertise on Beck except for Goldline. That is one of the reasons FOX wants to drop him. The boycotts are working.

[wku man]

African Americans? Like Charlize Theron? Oh...you meant black viewers. I get it.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Methinks that Glenn may have been afflicted by the Male Mormon Drama Queen Syndrome. Having lived in a 65% Mormon community for 7 years I’ve observed plenty of them.

Methinks FR is afflicted with a considerable % of " 'any chance to denigrate Mormons Syndrome."

Having been on FB for 7 years, I've observed plenty of them.

[maine-iac7]

I've suspicioned for some time that Bill O'R - who slings a lot of wieght around FOX, is threatened by Beck - and Jealous of his following.

Unlike Beck, O'R jumps back and forth over the shark on issues, not on conviction, but for ratings. Certainly, he's twisted himself into a ridiculous pretzel trying to defend 'bummer's no-war war. Disgusting. Anyhow, for Beck to have such an audience in the 5 o'clock slot - when most people have left their office but not yet home - scares the bejeebers out of him. What if Beck got a decent slot - Like O'R's???

Beck loves this country. O'R loves O'R.

[Captain Peter Blood]

The Oprah Network is looking for show to jump start it's ratings. Perhaps Oprah can put her politics aside and sell half her Cable Network to Beck.

[maine-iac7]

Interesting. I would love for you to speak more about what you have observed

Maybe you'd like to ask ME about it. I've been living with, dealing with, Mormons for near 50 years now. Ive observed no such thing.

What's that?

Not interested in an opinion that might not denigrate Mormons?

That's what I thought.

Here's an idea. Start a separate "Let's Bash Mormon's!" thread.

You'd have a night long discussion on your hands of FR's that lurk day and night with telescopic eyes for a chance to insert an anti-Mormom screed.
