CNN's Headline News has signed conservative radio host Glenn Beck for an hourlong talkshow in hopes of building on the ratings momentum generated by a revamped primetime lineup anchored by "Nancy Grace." The signing of Beck, expected to be announced today, will add a fourth show to HLN's primetime in addition to "Grace," "Showbiz Tonight" and "Prime News Tonight."
Boy, that ought to make liberal heads implode.
Might give me a reason to watch Headline News once in a awhile. Well, another reason; reason number one being Robin Meade.
Cool. I like him alot. He does a reaio show. You can listen to it and decide for yourself.

Besides doing a 'reaio' show, he also does a 'radio' show. LOL. Pardon my excitement.
I don't know, will CNN let Glenn Beck, be Glenn Beck??? Lets face it the man is known for his sarcasm and very not PC wit.... I think CNN will boot him the first time he says on air that "Black Americans must Step Up on racism and stop simply blaming the white man"... or some other similar comment.
CNN just doesn't have the guts or testicular fortitude to stand up to the PC police, or its own internal leftist biases not to look for a reason to kill Beck first chance they get.
Bring out your duct tape.
But I doubt that see's the light of day....unless he only calls Southern White Males...named Joe Jack, or Jethro.
Either he stands up to the CNN BS then gets booted or he stands there to be another CNN Conservative whipping boy so they can say they're balanced.
bad career move Glen.
Beck is ripping Nagin right now on his program.
Now will I tune into CNN to watch Glenn?
Absolutely not. I refused to read Pravda then and refuse to watch CNN now.
What time is his show?
From a programming point of view, I'd say that putting him on in the same time slot as O'Reilly would do two things: it would draw away conservative viewers who see that O'Reilly is full of crap and it would cut into the already dismal numbers for Olberman. Whether Beck can make the transition to TV, though, is the question.
I like Beck. Hope this works well for him.
True, CNN might be shocked like ESPN was when Rush tried to be Rush.
LOL! You beat me to it...well we all know CNN is full of "sick freaks," just not the kind that Beck is used to.
What till he drops the "J" word during a broadcast. Don't imagine he'll last long after that.
I LOVE Glenn! This should be GOOD!
I wonder if Beck will endorse Romney for governor? Aren't they both Mormons?
An hour-long Headline news? Hmmmm....... Will he be repeating the same headline for an hour?
I just don't see CNN defending Beck.. Beck's going to have a target on his back by all the leftist already inside CNN and all the leftist activists out there. CNN is going to have to be willing to stand up the the nannying naysayers of negativity and tell them all to go get bent when they start screaming over something Beck's said or done... and I just don't see CNN doing that.
I see this ending as a Michael Savage MSNBC stint or Rush on ESPN.... Beck is Beck.. if he is allowed to be Beck, he'll do fine... but I doubt CNN will let that happen.
