Drudge teased this earlier, and Fox News now announces that conservative talk-show host Glenn Beck is joining the network from CNN's Headline News. Beck will host a show at 5 p.m. on Fox, beginning in the spring.

Full release after the jump.

I guess after last night Fox News needed a Conservative.

If Beck keeps his show on the lines of what he does on CNN now ... I will be delighted! Especially since I don’t have to stay up late to view him at 4 central. I never get to see his show in the first broadcast, and have to stay up until 11 to catch him.

Ole’ Doc Childers had to go from HS to Corinth to get a woman. How’d you get away?

Glenn will be a good addition to a Fox News that still holds up the fraud Oreilly as its main conservative. It's past time for a real conservative who doesn't suck up to people like Jesse Jackass and Al Sharptongue so they will come on his show.

ED is still doing special reports for FoxNews. ED and her current husband have at least 8 kids between them. She originally moved from Fox & Friends to a later slot because she needed to be home to get kids off to school.

I don't know this to be fact, but perhaps ED was needed at home more than she felt she needed to be on TV. I do miss her and am always glad to see her on a special presentation.

Gibson has moved to Fox News Radio. He has a great show on there from 6-9pm ET.

This was announced last year.
Can’t say I blame him.

"he is funny as hell,"

I'm so glad that you said that from actual experience in his company. I think he is a riot and love his wicked sense of humor. I can never remember ever having laughed out loud so much during a presentation of 'the news'. He will also get relentless on someone he is interviewing if they try to spout only talking points over and over. Overall, I like him alot.

Desot county. I had to leave Marshall county. Turned out most of the girls left were cousins, and I didn’t want to risk further damage to the gene pool.....

[Teflonic]

You’ve expressed my sentiments exactly.

[samsmom]

Can’t stand shlep either!! Loved Gibson. Wonder what happened with him?

[Stentor]

"The fog has been particularly hard on me this year," he said.

It's become obvious.

[chasio649]

I’m thinking the same thing.

Shepard Smith is a total Loser! a definite recruit for PMSNBC! Maybe “Shep” can carry the bags for Prissy Chrissy and Keithie Olberdouchebag! We want John Gibson back! I loved when John was explaining how Olberdouche would hide in his home bathtub for hours and John would have to fill in at the Stdios day after day. And how Olberdouche would kurl up on the floor in his dressing room and cry for hours!

YAY!!!!

Too bad - it was good to have a strong conservative like Beck on CNN to help dilute their poisonous liberalism (and three times every weekday night, no less) - hope CNN gets another conservative to take Beck’s place......

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Good!

While we're at it, can't we get rid of Schlepper Sniff?

[NOBAMA in 08]

Sounds like the fairy nice guy we know today:-)

It’s good because it will give Glenn a bigger audience, but it’s bad for me because there won’t be anything to watch at 9 p.m.

I cant stand to watch Hannity and Colmes unless Kirsten Powers is sitting in for Alan.
