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.
Do you also watch “Imus in the Morning”? He is/was a big Danny Deutch fan (at least back when he was “Morning Joe”).
“Are you kidding me, Shep is gay? How sad.”

You had to read it here?
I miss John Gibson. They should at least, bring him back as a host substitute now and then.
...seriously....I would love to see Glenn host Special Report with pitch forks and torches lining the backdrop....that would be hysterical!
Will Glenn get the FOX brainwashing to make him go light on the terrorists?
FOX NEWS AND THE SAUDIS
Regular FOX news watchers have noticed the increasing Saudi influence at FOX News ever since the French riots of 2005 when after one phone call, FOX newscasters stopped calling the Muslim rioters Muslims. Now it veers away from any real news in the war on Islamic jihad and pursues missing girls, missing blond girls, missing pregnant girls, missing pregnant blond girls, missing murdered blond girls, missing murdered pregnant girls, and ..... car chases, spousal murders and particularly blond murders (save Fred Barnes and the Beltway Boys and Hume’s news hour and E.D. Hill ).

Fox News has long been considered a beacon to those that distrust televised liberal media, meaning every channel other than Fox. One of the indicators of the station’s right-leaning bent is that it has, for the most part, gotten the ‘War on Terrorism’ correct. However, with the undue influence of a Saudi Prince related to militant causes and with this month’s acquisition of Beliefnet, a religious resource website that proudly promotes radical Islam, signs show that the war coverage may soon be taking a turn for the worse.
In September of 2005, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal purchased 5.46 per cent of Class B voting shares in News Corp, the company that owns Fox News and a number of other media and entertainment entities. This had replaced the three per cent stake in Class A non-voting shares bin Talal had previously held through his investment corporation, Kingdom Holding Company (KHC).
With his newfound voting rights, bin Talal stated his intention of supporting Rupert Murdoch, the principal owner of News Corp, helping Murdoch to stay in power and avoid hostile takeover by other interested investors. Some have said that this was like making a deal with the devil, as Murdoch has been left vulnerable to the whims of an individual that has been involved in despicable causes.
In April of 2002, bin Talal had donated $27 million during a Saudi telethon that was raising money for the families of suicide bombers. As well, he had given $500,000 to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to be used towards the distribution and propagation of a set of Islamist books for American libraries. The set included Jamal Badawi’s Gender Equity in Islam, which sanctions the beating of women by their husbands, and a version of the Quran, Abdullah Yusuf Ali’s The Meaning of THE HOLY QURAN, which has been banned by the Los Angeles school system.
Utilizing his position of power within Fox News (today, he is the second largest shareholder), bin Talal has worked to influence programming at the station.

‘... bring back Gibby!...’
Agree! John Gibson was truly a straight talker and a patriotic American! I would much rather have him back ....bye bye Shep.
Glad to have Glenn aboard!
I think (but don’t know as I don’t get Fox radio where I live now)”
Many stations carry Beck in the listen live format online.
I agree, get rid of Shep. I really can’t stand the man and bring back Gibson.
Alan Colmes has really become pathetic and borish! even more so than ever before. the guests continue to “Pat Alan on the Head and tell him to roll over, Good Dog, Good Dog!”
Its ashame Hannity can’t see the handwriting on the wall!
Dear Hannity, You are good and Alan is a nice guy, but Hannity, We cant stand Alan’s borish behavior any longer and we are tuning you out on days when Kirsten isn’t sitting in for Alan.
You and me both.
But alas...I don't watch news any more. Lies...nothing but lies any more...
Really? I’ll have to tivo it. Is it any good? I had no idea. I usually only watch tv during the week.
“I wish they would bring back John Gibson. He was great.”

I agree! Glenn needs to stay at CNN in what he refers to as “the belly of the beast”.
He has a much better chance at reaching those that need to hear the truth than switch to FOX and preach to the choir.
Whats ironic is that where I live in Fl. Glenn’s radio show has always been aired on FOX radio while Hannity has always been on CNN radio.
double ditto
“What happened to ED Hill?
And I also miss John Gibson”
~~~~~
ditto
thats good news!!!! and in the meantime is there a site on FR, that I’ve missed, that covers the Brit Hume news I want to say ‘noon news’ but thats what it is here!!!
Every time Nina makes her comments I start screaming!!!
“I agree! Glenn needs to stay at CNN”
~~~~~
ditto
Really?
That does not make much sense, Beck has never done straight news before, he has never even tried to do straight news before.
