Glenn Beck to Leave His FOX News Show

By Zach Dionne Posted Apr 6th 2011 01:06PM

Glenn Beck is ditching his mega-popular show on FOX News. According to Business Insider, the polarizing host will "transition" away from the show later in 2011, but continue working with the network.

"Glenn intends to transition off of his daily program, the third highest rated in all of cable news, later this year," reads a press release.

Beck will be slated 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."

While the press release is quick to tout the successes of Beck's show, no explanation is given for his departure. Beck's show has aired daily at 5PM since early 2009.

"Mr. Beck has been contemplating an exit from Fox for some time," the New York Times writes. "Two of the post-Fox options he has considered, according to people who have spoken about it with him, are a partial or wholesale takeover of a cable channel, or an expansion of his subscription video service on the Web. His company has been staffing up - making Web shows, some of which have little or nothing to do with Mr. Beck, and charging a monthly subscription for access to the shows."

WOW, THAT'S MATURE!!!! I love how you Fox News haters are ALL alike. Can't think for themselves. All of you haters have to march to the same sickening drum. No idea of thinking for yourselves. How pathetic.

THERE IS A GOD,THANK YOU JESUS.

Don't bring Jesus into your warped sense of reality. I wonder if you say the say thing about Chris - Mr. Drool or Keith OlberDINK?? Naaah, you aren't that objective. Just follow the moron crowd and think like the others. Sad, very sad.

I just love all this liberal tolerance on here. Always with the liberal preaching about "no hate." And as usual, it's just the same ol' intolerant, judgmental and hateful sttitude from the liberals. Sad, so sad! Hate all that you liberals disagree with. Never a honest civil debate in the arena of ideas with liberals. It's just hate, hate, hate.

I believe there is a real difference between real differences of opinion, voiced in a calm manner with each side backing up their opinion with sound reasoning and the crazy consipacy theories and rumors started by Glenn Beck!

By Pierre

Really? Wow...I guess you don't watch O'Reilly much.

I'll definitely be glad whe Beck is gone. I don't hate him, I would think he was a joke but the salient characteristic of jokes is that they are funny.

By badandyboy

Beck calls Obama a racist, has wacko conspiracy theories focused on Muslims, has a lying Southern bigot on to explain the 'real' American history - I think you are confused about who is spreading the hatred.
