I'm glad, was never a Beck fan (but I'd probably take him over Hannity or Oreilly I would say), his show is really boring.

I hope Freedomwatch with Andrew Napolitano takes over the spot from Fox Business maybe.

He's not leaving Fox news

"The new agreement between FNC and Mercury Radio Arts will ensure Beck appears on the television network and through other "digital properties." "

I didn't watch him too often since I dont watch much television. It seemed like the blackboard thing was getting out of hand. Beck brings up interesting and valid topics that the media ignores (Beck shouldn't have had to be the one covering Van Jones) - but he is also too deep in the shtick. He's better off doing radio with some specials than doing the TV blackboard things 5 days a week.

Time Magazine poll says Glen Beck is one of the most influential person in the world. Soros did not make the list.

Don't fret Beck fans. If the DVD sales are good enough, you too might have a shot at a one off movie which craps all over continuity and character development.

Newsweek had a fascinating article a few months back on political pundits and the astonishing amount of money they make. Beck, like most of them, makes the vast amount of his money off book sales. From his standpoint his TV show is almost a loss leader-he does it mostly to keep the brand thriving.

Also there is a huge list of advertisers that don't like the controversy that Beck is, and have standing orders to Fox not to run their ads on his show or any show he appears on.

From a financial standpoint this was totally expected.

<--Not a Beck fan, but I admire his ability to repeatedly fleece big bucks from his followers.

He's a pretty adept businessman.

When large companies start boycotting your show, you have to be on the right track.

Glenn Beck presents his evidence in a very well and thought out matter. When I catch his shows, they are thought provoking to say the least.

Would I call Glenn extreme? No, I would not, he is not even close to being extreme.

If I had a show and whipped out my penis on Air and lost all my Sponsors, would I be on "the right track"?

The left is in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood. Obama, Clinton, Soros, Moveon, Center for American Progress etc - the admin and Soros groups have all stressed for Muslim Brotherhood be included in forming new gov. In fact, it was shown Egyptian agitators were working with admin and US embassy back in 2009. They had a plan to get Mubarak out by elections. One of the trustees on a Soros group was in charge of organizing Muslim Brotherhood youth . For a multitude of reasons (including resenting Israel - Soros at least does it openly)

I could never really watch his show. Often when I surfed over to it, he was in some complicated explanation busy tieing people etc together thru various connections. Assuming his stuff was accurate or even plausable, struck me as having a lot of research invested in it. But if I'm gonna plough thru something like that I want it in written form. I want to be able to do some independent confirmation. So I only watched briefly to see what he was on about. I can imagine many people found it interesting though.

Other times his show looked some kind of religion revival type thing and I'm not interested.

I have no doubt it's incorrect to say that he's too crazy for Fox. Nope, it's all about the ratings and the revenue.
