Glenn Beck Smashes Ratings Record
NewsMax ^ | 8/28/09

Posted on 08/29/2009 4:00:59 PM PDT by Sammy67

Although Glenn Beck's hit Fox News show doesn't even air during prime time, he is generating huge prime-time-like numbers at 5 p.m.

TVbytheNumbers.com reports that, despite a liberal group's "boycott" of "The Glenn Beck Program," Beck is striking "pure ratings gold."

I have Wed. Thur. and Fri. on DVR. It is very good. The Whitehouse is after him but he doesn’t care. The truth shall set you free. If your taking flak, you’re over the target. Go get’em Beck!

Beck is willing to call a Commie a Commie. The others are not.

It’s on at 2 pm here on the left coast, what a pia. Wish they would re run it later. For now I have to catch it at the gym or on Sirius in the office.

That said, it is really phenomenal what Beck has been able to do with such a weak time slot. I imagine some shuffling will happen eventually.

"He is the ONLY one I can see doing true investigative reporting and analysis. He is not merely repeating news from other sources or commenting upon those stories.

Plus, he is a very brave man."

Huh? How is he "brave"? He's a showman. Glad he's got good ratings. I'd actually watch him if he reported the truth on how Joe Smith created his religion and how/when/why they began calling it "Christian". That's a story I really want to see!

Best thing would be to swap Beck and Smith. Beck at 7pm would kick some serious backside.

I'm always half-afraid to watch Beck, thinking he could have a heart attack at any moment. I hope he eats right and has a bottle of cayenne tincture on him at all times [known to "reverse" a heart attack in some folks], but he certainly is a courageous, likable man.

But Bill is promoting him big time. Beck should repeat at 11:00 or be on at 7:00.

Not surprising. Everyone I associate with watches him religiously, facebook updates are very often “did you see what glenn found this time??”

Go Glenn!

If they keep up making “sound” fiscal decisions like that then in the future they can tape that to their door under the “Out of Business” sign.

Ok. This is where ideas are discussed. Name calling is tolerated only when a moonbat goes after my personal freedom. :^)

I was unhappy with Glen Beck’s last Friday show. I expected a set of marching orders as to what to do to stop the socialist plans of our rulers. But all we got was a form letter to send to elected people? What about a massive demonstration on 9-12, in every major city—not just the capital. What about a petition to give to congress with millions of signatures requesting them to stop the medial experiment called health care. Or maybe a meeting to consider new elected people—he said toss out the bums like 52 card pick up—but who should they replace them with? Libertarians? Reformers? Micky Mouse?
What can we really do—how about a booklist of things to read besides his book? What about new ways to let our elected clowns know how we feel.

“He’s getting the ratings the networks used to consistently get back when they actually reported news.”

True. People are hungry for the truth.

I mostly like your line-up, but I think Hannity would have a hard time with it. His radio show ends at 6:00, and I can’t see how he’d be able to do a nightly 7:00 show. The turnaround is too quick.

Regards,
