The only time I tuned in was when I was in a hotel a couple of weeks ago and Beck had a guest host.

I liked his radio show, though.

I have started DVRing Glenn every day. He's funny and good. Very entertaining and not politically correct. He'll pass the guy that used to be on espn before long.

Thanks for the reminder. I happened to catch his show last week for the first time due to a glitch in my BAN CNN system. Don't know how it came on my t.v., but it was at the time Glenn Beck's show had come on. I must admit, I sat down and watched...and was pleasantly surprised.

And there goes Joe Scarborough.

Now doing a segment entitled, "Is Bush an Idiot?", letting Larry O'Donnell rant on and on and pretty much agreeing with him.

What a total ass.

A Billy Mays infomercial could get more viewers on MSNBC than Olbermann. The only reason he has a job is that they aren't going to bother to replace him before the MS subsidy runs out and MSNBC goes belly up.

I think Beck is doing even better than those numbers indicate. Check out the link, he's on twice a night and they're only counting one time slot against Olbermann.

Mrs. Submareener says that it is obvious from the ratings that CNN kidnapped Steve Centani of Fox News in Gaza! ;-)

Yeah, where else on TV do you hear a host call the President of Iran a "nut job," LOL.

That's what I like best, he says what we're thinking, no PC whatsoever!

From January until July, I had an extreme commute - absolutely ridiculous! If I didn't have Glenn Beck part of the way each way I would have been crazi(er). Even my husband, who can't stand talk shows of any kind, watched him and liked him.

You sick twisted freaks!!!

I notice Scarborough isn't even listed here. Would MSDNC please just take his show out behind the barn and put it (and us) out of misery?

It's Ralphie from "A Christmas Story" all grown up.

He takes some getting used to, but I like him now after I listened a while on radio.

Laura Ingram is a bit too sophomoric for me, and they are on the radio in my area at the same time.

I've been listening to Glenn Beck on XM Radio for several months.

If anyone hits the nail on the head lately, it's him..

I basically get my news from 4 sources.

Free Republic, Glenn Beck, Fox News and John Batchelor.

Batchelor is also on XM Radio.

On September 12, 2001, the day after the fall of the Twin Towers, WABC-AM in New York City recruited John Batchelor to go on the air until Osama bin Laden was either killed or captured.

John has been on ever since, offering insightful commentary on such issues as the war on terrorism, the presidency, the national and global economies, and defending our civilization.

On March 12, 2003, one week before the attack on Iraq, ABC Radio Networks invited John to bring his expertise to syndication. Since then John has reached out nationwide, focusing his concerns on a world at war.

Beck in the morning from 9AM to noon on XM Radio.

Free Republic throughout the day and night.

Fox News when anything major is going on.

Bachelor in the late evening on XM Radio.

I'll have to check it out. I think it's already on now, so I'll look for it tomorrow.

HLN's #s before 7PM in the 25 cat. are putrid. Glenn triples those numbers with his show. He will pass Olberman by October, especially if any fit hits the shan in any capacity.

One more thing...I really like his show.

My sister, who is anything but political, got to listening to Beck when he was on in the morning here in Houston, and fell in love with him.

She wants a Slap Jackson t-shirt.

Try XM Radio. It may get through. The wire for the car antenna on the portable one is really long if you can get to a south facing window.

It's Ralphie from "A Christmas Story" all grown up.

My parents, in their 80's, started watching Beck's TV show. They're addicted now, and they aren't radio fans, they just happened on his show while switching channels one evening.

My mom thinks he's "cute." Guess he is Ralphie, LOL.

Olbermann is definitely an idiot, but I wouldn't even consider Beck's show as an alternative. I tried to watch it, but his gimmicks didn't appeal to me at all.

I am impressed though, I believe it's been a whole week without Olbermann attacking O"Reilly for some ratings. Although with Beck and nancy Grace closing in it's only a matter of time.
