Glenn Beck Smashes Ratings Record

Although Glenn Beck's hit Fox News show doesn't even air during prime time, he is generating huge prime-time-like numbers at 5 p.m.

TVbytheNumbers.com reports that, despite a liberal group's "boycott" of "The Glenn Beck Program," Beck is striking "pure ratings gold."

Try the mountain time zone. He’s on at 3pm then not replayed til Midnight. I wish they would replay at 9 PM and move the second Oreilly episode an hour later.

My one question is can we stop this insanity politically?

I Pray that we can brother, devine intervention is a sweet thing. I dont want to think of the consequences otherwise.

Thanks Keats you are a patriot!

"Nonetheless, the man does a great job uncovering little known facts and tying them together in a logical manner. There is no one who comes close to what he does on TV or radio. He is uncovering the unseen forces (at least the mortal forces) who are shaping our world, and who run under the radar of most unsuspecting people. He also has the ability to explain complex political entanglements clearly, in a way most people can understand. I say he is brave because he is exposing some powerful and evil people, who would like him silenced"

..............Everything on Obama and his cohorts and all other connections has either surfaced or surfaces each day on the internet. Especially here on FREErepublic.

Beck's cult foundation in this Christian Nation is severely flawed. You have every right to listen to him. Have fun. He's not saying anything new. I hope he tells us where planet Kolob is........now THAT would be news.

“would moving Hannity up to 8pm Eastern and putting Glenn on at 9pm suit you? It would me....”

Actually, I think moving Beck to 7 and replacing Sheppard Smith (he is the weakest link) would put FNC in front by a long shot - Bert Bauer at 6 does a great job with Special Report, then Beck, BOR and Hannity would be IMHO the ideal situation...

I think the day his ratings peaked was a day or two after Sarah Palin suggested, on Facebook, that people pay attention to him.

But she has no credibility, does she? ;-)

Another powerful Palin “type, type, type, send”, as Tammy Bruce says.

Amen, Letters to the Editor

Ask those questions BOLDLY

Beck at 7pm would kick some serious backside.

An hour later would be better. 7 p.m. in the East is 5 p.m. Mountain and 4 p.m. Pacific -- still too early.

I just can’t get on the Glenn Beck bandwagon. I hate his psycho shtick. His eyes go all googly, and he truly looks insane. He looks like a Dem. It’s the Dems who do shtick like this. Colbert, Stewart, Maddow, Olbermann, etc. Why does Beck have to act like they do? I have no problem with what he’s saying, just with the way he’s saying it. Can’t he be less psycho about it? Can’t he just speak like a dignified man, instead of like a crazed lunatic?

Sorry, Beck must have been targeting an audience smarter than you are. He clearly asked everyone to be in DC on the 12th. How on earth could have you missed that?

As someone who was also underwhelmed by Friday's show, I'll reply to that.

Sorry, he talked all week of this "GREAT" plan he would unveil on Friday. When Friday get's here, he just says go to DC on the 12th. That wasn't anything new, everyone knew about that long ago.

By the way, there is no reason to jump right into insults. That's exactly what the other side wants us to do.

Truth prevails.

I think Beck has done a magnificent job of investigating and presenting what is going on behind the scenes. I applaud his dedication to revealing the depths to which the government has fallen under the influence of those that would do away with our republic and the things they are doing that appear to be blatantly illegal. I must agree with pointy_head’s post 110 though in that I find Beck’s shtick distracting. What it boils down to is that I don’t see Beck as being the leader we need to work our way out of this (and to be fair, I don’t know that he has claimed to be).

For the record, I doubt that the 912 thing will accomplish anything other than possibly firming up the dedication of those that attend. Chances are no politicians will admit to even noticing the event, the media will barely mention it unless they can condemn it because of low attendance or something bad happens (possibly false flag).

I thought about that as well but here is the 411 on his show that he does now...half of the week’s episodes are pre-recorded and in the can. Seems he is able to film segments whenever he wants to during the week and pencils in when he wants to go live. He could always restructure his contract for radio. I know Colmes, Brian Kilmeade, Napolatano, and Gibson all did immediate turn around’s to their radio shows right after their show was over on FOX. Shep Smith does the same after Studio B as he does all the network radio feeds.

In the words of the immortal Johnny Carson: “I did not know that.”

Thanks for the info. I do know that he often broadcasts his radio show from his home here on Long Island.

In any case, I do like your line-up and if they could find a way to do it...I’d watch it. A lot.
