Give Beck’s spot to Rush. Problem solved.

Has FOX ever entertained the idea of giving Rush an hour?

Rush had a show years ago. I don’t think he has any interest in being on TV and the radio...why would he? Leave the grueling schedule to a younger man, who seems up to the challenge.

And as much as I love Rush, I don’t think he’d do a better job at “educating” than Beck does on his TV show.

If there’s an experiment that needs to be done...give Beck a decent time slot and see what happens. The big advertisers can “afford” to boycott his show because it’s on at a weird time (although it does pull more viewers than Hannity or Greta.) But if Beck was in primetime, I believe, they’d “have” to advertise on his show because his numbers would be huge...just my 2 cents.

I think a more pertinent question is has Rush ever given though to doing TV again. I think his TV show in the 90's has soured him on TV. Not because most stations stuck him at 2:00 AM. But because he doesn't have the creative control he has on the radio.

I disagree, and here's why:

1. Rush had a TV show at one time, it's not his medium;

2. Radio is "portable"...I can listen to Rush anywhere, in my car, on my "walkman", anywhere. However, to see him on TV I have to be there in front of the TV and watch (or Tivo it). With Radio you can do other things WHILE you listen, on TV, you have to watch and pay attention.

3. Why should he give up the good thing he's got? He left NY to get away from the libworld there, he broadcasting from, or near, his home in Florida, and things are a lot cheaper down there.

I say leave him on Radio, let Beck have the TV, he's a better clown.

Rush’s medium is radio. He is definitely not a TV guy.

Did you see Rush's television show? He's the greatest on radio but appears uncomfortable on TV.

Well that would give a whole new meaning to the 5:00 Rush Hour.

Rush was not good on TV. It was awful and easy to see that he is not a TV kind of guy as he has always said. Love him on the radio but I hope he never does another TV show!!

Rush not going back to NYC. Show would have to be from Florida.
