I think Beck has such a loyal audience he can start a premium channel and have a good portion of them watch him. From a business perspective, if he can get those viewers to pay something like $14.95/month, he has a good shot in creating an isolated well guarded channel that nobody can touch in terms of content and editing. This would be Glenn Beck, uncensored & unedited.

If he can get those viewers to pay a monthly charge, that's the question. But his cancellation was due mainly to his calling the president a racist. Evidently, it was the end of the line for his advertisers also and Fox ended it. Good riddance!
I was worried about those invest in gold ads disappearing. Guess they lost their "nerves"
Roger Ailes dismissed the financial impact of the boycott but expressed some frustration with it.
"Advertisers who get weak-kneed because some idiot on a blog site writes to them and says we need to stifle speech, I get a little frustrated by that," he said.
Oh yeah, you tell em Roger!
Many conservatives are as opposed to Beck's fear mongering and hyperbole as much as any lib.
At least one is, anyway... 8)
My Padre-in-law thinks he's the shiznat. I gently disagree and offer alternatives, but there may be no curtailing the curmudgeon effect.

It can be fanatical TV!
That would be AWESOME! MORE GLENN BECK CONTENTS! So we can make fun of him by photoshopping him, animating him in a GIF, making spoofs of videos, etc. The more, the merrier!

He's an idiot who spreads republican lies...good by Beck.
Glen Beck?? I need to google this guy...
Declining ratings. Losing sponsors. A bad mix.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I agree. When he FIRST started his show, I loved to listen to how un PC he was. After a while, it was definitely fear mongering and manipulation of his mentally deficient audience. It reminded me of the evil news broadcaster from
V for Vendetta. That always gave me an eerie feeling.
To even things up... NBC canned Matt Lauer... :D

He didn't come across quite as loony until after he moved to Fox news. It's like he was given a license to go off the deep end or something.
He's just an act. Preying on the vulnerable and misinformed.
