I’ve been a subscriber to GBTV/The Blaze since their first show, and that’s all I watch. I can’t stand fox news now. Glenn just added Wilkow as a new show, and he may be even better than Beck. Real News is also a good way to get your daily news. They’re moving fast to add new shows and hire more journalists. Beck is one hell of a business man. I can’t wait to watch him screw with Fox’s ratings.
Long time subscriber to Beck and I am with you on the stale Fox. Actually, Fox is not stale, they have just morphed into just another New York Network.
Just as you said, he is currently looking at adding more shows and Dana Loesch is one I know he is/was in negotiations with.
As far as our migration away from Fox, I also suspect that we are in a transitional state as for our awareness. When Fox first came on the scene, the reason I originally went to satellite (DTV), it was the only thing anywhere with a conservative flavor on TV. Now they are becoming a victim of their own success because their base viewers were also able to discern BS even more quickly and Fox did not move along with their viewer base.
How many of us here had the same feelings for Fox in say 2008 or even in 2004? Hannity was the most conservative talking head on TV. Now he has diminished to just another talking head more impressed with his own voice than honing his ability to debate. He has become nothing more than a referee to a bunch of yapping verbal wrestlers, and a piss poor referee at that.
Then we have BOR. What more needs to be said about the bloviator in chief. He is still more enamored with his status within the news elites than he is of researching a story. He operates off conventional wisdom rather than finding the real story. The only way he will reverse course on any issue will only happen when it affects him personally. Then and only then does he go after it. But as usual a day late and a dollar short. Just like when he berated Beck to his face on the Van Jones Green Czar issue that we had nothing to fear from the communists. Epic Fail.
Now the surprise on Fox is Greta. One little trip to Wasilla turned her from a liberal Hillary lover to one of the best at getting into the faces of Senators and Congressmen about ethics and legal investigations. It appears as though many of them think they can go on there and get their face into a puff interview and she lands one right between the eyes and doesn’t take their crap answers.
Would she be a fit for Beck? Don’t think so because his format requires a person to do more of their own investigation or lead it and Greta just doesn’t seem to be one to be on the cutting edge. She is more of a cleanup person focusing on the loose ends.
So, for me, I will remain a Beck subscriber because my daily schedule will not fit the show schedule. My Roku device gets me all the shows when I want to watch each. Fox is out entirely, except Greta, unless I need breaking news information and even then CNN is better at breaking stuff. First it is Beck. Then I decide whether Real News is next and then Wilkow is really starting to look good.
This is what we need, some in your face stuff on the merits and not backing down to any political pressure.
