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.
Welcome aboard, Comrade! I mean, Glenn!
(I love the Comrade-shouting bits on the radio)
Wish it was as of Monday or better yet Tomorrow!
I agree. It couldn’t come soon enough.
While I don’t listen to Glenn all that much on TV (and never on CNN), it’s a great addition to the FNC lineup.
Is he going to follow the other ‘Fair And Balanced’ jokers?
Faux News sucks.
He actually was the only thing I ever tuned in on CNN and it was rare.
I am not so sure I like this news. Beck was a conservative voice for CNN and Headline News. His show aired 4 times a day during the week and then repeats on the weekend. No chance in hell Fox can give him that many re-airs if they do any at all.
CNN needed “any” balance they could get and Headline News is on in many airports, doctors offices, train and bus stations etc...
Not so sure we need an echo chamber developing on FOX.
5 p.m. Eastern??? Otherwise, I’ll never get to see him again. Will he have to leave CNN for a six-month break? A lot of contracts call for that. Just darn! I hope it’s Eastern.
Good! Maybe FOX will now ditch that ditzy Martha McCallun in that time spot. When I have FOX on at 5 p.m., sometimes I think the channel changed itself to MSNBC.
She’s no conservative. But maybe she’s sleeping with one high-up at FOX.
I guess that with Glenn leaving CNN that the Leftist have won control of Communist News Network.
I agree completely. Get rid the dummy Shep and replace him with Gibson.
AWESOME!!!
FOX hired a blonde without clevage?? not good....
so Shep loses a slot?
Praise God !
Who will CNN hire to replace him as their “conservative” show?
I wish Bill Bennett had a tv show. He’s one of my personal favs.
Shep is a killer in the ratings. They will never and should never get rid of him. He mops the floor of everyone in his time slots 3 and 7.
I worked with him for a bit of time at WSVN in Miami...he is funny as hell, yes he is gay...but really...one of the most down the middle guys you could ever meet and know behind the scenes.
I wish they would bring back John Gibson. He was great.
