Glenn Beck will "transition off of his daily program"!


Interesting bit of news. The king of the crazies will leave his Fox News daily program later this year.
In a joint news release, Fox News and Mercury Radio Arts, Beck's production company, said that they will "work together to develop and produce a variety of television projects for air on the Fox News Channel as well as content for other platforms including Fox News’ digital properties."


Beck, the statement said, would "transition off of his daily program, the third highest rated in all of cable news, later this year."


It is not clear what the programs will be, or how many of them there will be. Joel Cheatwood, a senior Fox News executive who Beck hired away to his own company, will serve as the main liaison between the two networks. A source at Fox News told the Huffington Post in March that Mercury was playing a "dangerous game" by allegedly leaking the news of the hire to the media.
Well, it's kind of good news.

He hasn't been 3 highest rated for a long time now.

I don't think it's good news at all. It sounds like Faux News is going to spread the crazy all over the place.

I'd like to suggest that FOX News hire Keith Obermann to fill the hour.

Low ratings did his ass in.
