Omaha Steaks Drops Glenn Beck
Omaha Steaks’ ads recently started running on Glenn Beck’s program on Fox News.
As with other advertisers, participants in the StopBeck effort reached out to Omaha Steaks. We kindly requested that they follow the responsible action of hundreds of other former advertisers and refrain from advertising on Glenn Beck’s show.
Well, your efforts paid off.
This morning, Omaha Steaks announced that they were removing their ads from Glenn Beck’s program (emphasis added):
Omaha Steaks buys large units of national television advertising during the holiday season. This year, we bought a package of advertising through the Fox Network. We did not specifically request to be included on the Glenn Beck program. As part of our contract, the Omaha Steaks ads run in a variety of time slots throughout the day.
We took your comments regarding the Glenn Beck Program to heart. After further review and careful consideration, we have decided to pull all advertising from Glenn Beck programming effective December 20th, 2010. Unfortunately, due to advertising cancellation policies, we were bound to continue possible ad placements through Sunday, December 19th.
At Omaha, we greatly value the loyalty and support of our customers, fans and followers and thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.
Great work all! See, your tweets and messages really do matter.
Here we see another advertiser stepping up and taking the responsible action. Don’t dismiss these actions, they are important steps as we continue to gear up for our broader DropFox accountability effort.
Onward we go…
I hope Omaha Steaks goes bankrupt.
Not only that, but the Left does not eat steak. Remember? Won’t eat anything with a face on it? LOL. I’m sending a letter to Omaha. They can stick it.
And on John Galt Blvd., How Ironic

As someone who can’t stand the guy, I wonder why it is that
the libs feel that they must stop him, shut him up, and
deprive his show of sponsors. They are really free to just
note when he comes on and not watch.
I’m never going to be an Omaha Steak customer, since I am
fine with the body parts they sell at Smiths Market.
The last time I listened to Rush he was hawking Allen Brothers Steaks.
Add one more lost customer. Guess there are too many people uncomfortable with Glenn playing their actual words. Like the cockroaches they are, they cannot stand light.
Good idea. I wonder what percentage of their business is from corporate bulk orders.
It sounds like you’re giving support to people NOT to advertise with Beck in the first place... Is that what you’re doing?
I didn’t like Omaha steaks anyway...and now I won’t even be tempted.
Just told them...they lost a customer.
Thanks for the link. These folks give their address as “John Galt Blvd”! LOL Ayn Rand is rolling in her grave about this one.
I’ll call in the morning and cancel my Christmas order. I’m sure they won’t miss it. I’ve been buying from them for years.....not any more.
I'd gather...it's not THE John Galt.
Oh golly gee, that's terrific. I always thought I had to restrict my emails to companies during business hours.
The only thing to ever come out of Omaha was steers and queers.
Send them back. Tell them you are boycotting them “after further review and careful consideration”.
Very odd Omaha Steaks would advertise on Glenn Beck. They are big Democrat donors in Nebraska.
FOr the future... is there an alternative?
Being from Nebraska, I’ve never been overly impresses with Omaha Steaks.
I can’t recommend an alternative, but here are a couple of links I ran across:
