Glenn Beck later this year will end his Fox News Channel talk show, which has sunk in the ratings and has suffered from an advertiser boycott.

Baier and Shep were beating Beck? I did not know his ratings had dropped to that level.
Sorry I can NOT give the commies and Soros the credit they would LOVE to get for Beck’s leaving Fox.
It’s the ratings
This article is BS in the purest form. Outright!
He isn’t leaving Fox. They have formed a partnership. BECAUSE he is a valuable asset. Good LORD!
I don’t think his show ending is due to ratings or the boycott. I think Beck just has other plans.
Agreed...it has NOTHING to do with his ratings. His ratings are usually equal to Hannity’s, and always ahead of Greta.
advertisers were getting sometimes thousands of calls per day ... insults, complaints, etc
welcome to fascism
This morning on WOR in NY John Gambling the morning host said as much. WOR dropped Beck's radio program earlier this year, not because of ratings, but because advertisers are afraid of any controversy. My own pet theory is that these advertisers are seeing what's happening in WI, and all the hard core leftists protesting and want to stay away. The left may be a small band of wingnuts, but they're organized and willing to do "whatever it takes". They have no rules.
Look if a small minority can convince over 51% of the voting electorate to elect a man who's done NOTHING throughout his life but teach radicalism , then they have a pretty good propaganda machine. Advertisers are scared.
No, it is not. Quit spreading the BS.
They are cowards...hoping the crocodile will eat them last. Sadly; many Americans think the same way...
FoxNews is not rightwinged nor has it ever been a Republican network. If you believe that you're buying the claims from the left. FoxNews is truth and fair and balanced. That's why the left hates FoxNews and to discredit FoxNews they try to claim it's rightwing and republican.
They seem to be pandering to the democrats lately.
More so than MSNBC? CNN?
And I am enjoying HGTV and TLC more and more.
I like these channels too but they wont give me the latest news on the elections and current events.
Not a single show on FNC is on my must watch list when Beck leaves.
Beck was in a bad time-slot for the content of his program. He should have been filling in the dead-time when they replay a lot of their shows after midnight. I don't understand why Fox did not do that. Perhaps they looked at the ratings and saw that Bill Oreiily and Hannity re-runs for 9pm west-coast were higher than they thought they would get with Glenn Beck on in the same slot.
And maybe they figured 3am was too awkward of a time to have Glenn Beck's show on.
The truth is now 'controversial'...America is dead.
I just looked at the chart. It’s the ratings. Glenn Beck had the lowest ratings of all FoxNews programs including reruns of Oreilly after midnight.
But the undeniable fact is he is still WAY ahead of the competition. If I am not wrong, Nielson was the best indicator but since they rely on the targeted sampling with their little devices in your house, what, if any, value is their rating system but for who they are monitoring.
I would think most people, especially here on FR, don’t want someone in our house monitoring every minute the little box is on. I imagine that DirecTV and other sources do know what each cable/satellite box is watching at any given moment, but only if the box is connected to a phone line and that is no longer required.
Went beck w his religious shtcik it turned a lot of people off, myself included.

Come on! Michael Savage is on WOR. LOL!
He was way ahead of the competition on the other networks but far below the standards of FoxNews in that time slot. Even Shep was beating him on the same network but a later time slot.
Prove it with a chart. Let's see the chart of Becks ratings compared to other FNC programs. If he's mid=range I'm wrong, if he's close to the bottom, you're wrong.
Until then I will consider what you call "B.S" to be "Truth".
I provided my chart. Others have too.
B.S. as a reply does not prove your point.
What bugs me the most is when he has cried.
I just can’t STAND a man who crys in public,especially on TV
and I’ll throw in John Boehner with that one,too.
***************
You’ve got that right. When a man cries in public it’s pitiful, EXCEPT if it’s because of a death or serious injury of a loved one. Short of that it’s ridiculous.
“GLenn Beck should run for President
He probably could not win , but his voice would light the issues up real nice”
******************
Surely you jest.
I wonder if the vicks under his eyes to make him cry had anything to do with his eye sight? Probably unlikely
