I watch his show daily but I would like less abstract lectures and more videos of democrats (and republicans) caught making up stuff. He is at his best when he uses humor (like the old Rush TV show) not the “We are all going to die”.

I was sick and tired of “It’s the Deocrats and the Republicans fault” and how he put down birthers.

Used to DVR him, excited to see his show at the end of the night. Now we assiduously avoid him. Though I wish he would take down another czar.

January is when he came out and slammed “birthers” and refused to seriously confront Obama’s ineligibility. He’s lucky he didn’t lose more listeners than that.

spring is here...

That's a very good point. They're comparing ratings from January to now, rather than comparing now from the same time last year.

January, iirc, was the time when a good chunk of the US East Coast was shut down due to Snowmageddon. People stuck at home, LOTS of opportunities to watch cable television and Beck does have a pretty compelling personality. PLUS that was the time that he was getting all sorts of press, so you'd have to add in curious/intrigued viewers who he wasn't able to hold on to.

Valid comparisons would be January 09/January 10, and then April 09/April 10. Not just for Beck's show, but for all viewership.
