Scarborough: Glenn Beck Is 'Losing It Before Our Eyes'

[Glenn]

Faux News is cancelling The Glenn Beck Program.

They must think he's too liberal.

[Tahoe]

I'm not so sure Fox cancelled it. They are sending one of their better producers to help with his new show or whatever.

They've been negotiating this for quite a while.

But I could be wrong.

[Fool]

Just like when that pizza place I worked for during college "sent me" to help the company I got my first real job with.

[Tahoe]

He's going to produce shows for them.

[Glenn]

He's going to produce shows for them.

Let me guess, because he just doesn't feel like having his own show anymore?

[Tahoe]

I don't know.

He has more viewers than any show on MSNBC and most of CNN too,iirc. So I'm not sure. When you are on the best Network, Fox, its a pretty high bar.

[Fool]

Fox would be dumb to completely burn that bridge, but they aren't renewing his contract. This isn't a positive move in the relationship outside of it curtailing a sort of big headed flame out like what happened to Gla's boi.

Part of the problem is that big advertisers did bail on the show. He had the viewership, but some of the biggies wouldn't advertise on his show.

I'm not saying this was an upward move. It's just as you say, Fox didn't burn the bridge and are prolly smart not to.

Yeah, that's the real issue that lead to the departure, I'm sure. If he was Mr. Non-controversial and pulled in the ratings he was pulling (even the current ones which are far below his peak) he'd be on the channel still. But he gets his ratings by being controversial and has to be more controversial to get a smaller audience now that the economy doesn't look like it's about to meltdown each and every day. That makes him less profitable in terms of straight dollars and in terms of risk/reward. Hence, moving on.
