Beck’s UK broadcast runs without ads; over 100 companies have ditched Beck

Yesterday, for the fifth day in a row, the UK broadcast of Glenn Beck’s TV show was forced to run without any advertisements. This is thanks to efforts by StopBeck.com to pressure companies advertising on Beck’s UK broadcast.

While Beck’s UK broadcast has been forced to run without ads, his US broadcast has been reduced to running promos for other shows on Fox, ads from direct marketers (think exercise equipment and gold coins) and a handful of private companies headed by right-wingers.

This list is a LIE — Rosland Capital advertises on every single Glenn Beck program. They never miss.

Thanks for providing the lists.

[justlittleoleme]

First list is advertisers who have left. Second list is advertisers he currently has.

Britain is collapsing as we watch.

Beck shouldn't be on radio in the UK, according to these libtards, but George Galloway, Jew-hater & leftist lunatic extraordinaire, who has a show on Talk Sport should, so that he can spew his hate.

So jack and jill is a leftard site?

Jack and Jill politics is a black identity-politics site. A while back, for a time, I read it almost every day. Wow. If anybody is keeping racism alive it is this site and all of its affiliates.

There is absolutely *nothing* that can't be twisted and interpreted to be racist given their far-left ideology and activist identity politics. I think the Congressional Skin Color Caucus hangs out there, or at least some of them.

Eventually I got bored and wandered away, just like I did with KOS, DU and Huffnpuff, etc. But know thine enemy is a very handy and educational philosophy.

ditto.

wrote geico a letter and got a snarly answer back.

dropped geico too.

Thanks for posting!

I see Lifestyle Lift is still advertising.

Good excuse to patronize them, ha ha.

[Squantos]

That for real ?

I'm not against Glenn Beck's right to free speech, and for those who find him worth their while, more power to 'em.

I just think he's a bore and a drag.

It's tough, trying to find an angle with Rush Limbaugh basically saying everything that needs to be said and being ahead of the curve so much of the time.

Hannity spends about 40% of his time plugging himself, his Fox TV show, and his tour dates.

Beck has his sidekick (or are there more than one?) and he alternates between goofball, high-school level yucks and caterwauling about the end of civilization.

Mark Levin: he's good. I like him, when I can hear him.

[Logical me]

Every time someone tells me that Beck is a fringe nutcase, I just point to all the Beck-haters on the Left. They truly fear him and the format of his show that explains things in detail. To be successful, the Left needs a world full of idiots that only need a soundbite to make a decision.

Extremely well said. Beck scares he living heck out of the left.

[freemike]

You know, you just said exactly what I have been feeling. I used to listen to him frequently. I realize he has done some great things with his show. But, a person can only take so much of hearing the same gloom and doom over and over. He couldn’t even find anything good in the Scott Brown victory, he had to trash Brown over that joke Brown told about his daughters. My first thought was, hey, if dad said something dumb about his daughters, that’s for mom and the daughters to take care of. Beck should’ve left it go, but the guy I think is beginning to spiral. I hope he gets his act back together.

President Sarah Palin should appoint Glenn Beck as ambassador to Britain.

[Sir Clancelot]

I agree. I liked him a lot better when he had a sarcastic, humorous view of the progressives and the direction he thinks we are going. While I think he has some points, he is beginning to take himself too seriously, like he thinks he’s a prophet.

You can tell what he's going to say by his tone of voice.

When the apocalytpic voice starts, off goes the radio. He's been doing it a lot lately.

I like it so much better when he's exposing Communists and perverts in the White House and talking about how cool the Tea Party movement is.

I'm sure he'd have more regular listeners if he didn't get so melodramatic so often.

Funny thing - I heard part of his "the sky is falling" monologue one day last week, and turned it off. That same day a caller to Rush asked about the gloom and doom message (said nothing about Beck), and Rush responded with optimism and his faith in the American people and the resilience of the U.S. economy.

It was like a breath of fresh air.

He DOES think he's a prophet.

And that's not a good thing.

[FreeAtlanta]

It is a shame he has attack those who want Obama to release his long form birth certificate. Now, he never had the hard to moderate left, and now he is alienating a large chunk of the rest of those who would be strong supporters of his.

I think he is putting out a good message, but I didn't like nor think his attacks on "birthers" was necessary and extremely unproductive. His alliance with the BOR has also hurt him.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Beck was joking about Brown and his daughter. He was laughing the whole time.

[ohioWfan]

You probably got the same snarly answer we got.

Good for you. Good insurance company, but politically aligned with the left while claiming to be "apolitical."
