This will end up with Beck really out there in Olbermann no mans land. No following and no outlet to reach people. This is a silly move. His ratings were still respectable at FOX.

I agree... I hope he's not going to "web only" programming. There are still a lot of older people out there who are not very web-savvy (and probably never will be). Yet they are HUGE fans of Glenn's 5pm ET Fox News TV show.

Bret Baier's excellent "Special Report" is going to experience a hit in the ratings, too, once Beck exits... Beck's show was a fantastic lead-in for the 6pm "Special Report".

Indeed, cable TV's not dead yet by any stretch.

As one who knows Glenn a little, and talked to him just a couple of weeks ago, I can tell you he has given this a LOT of thought and planning, and is no “silly move.” While the total viewership might not be what he had at his peak in Fox, he will structure something that in fact will be more lucrative than ever. I just hope to be a part of it.
