Omaha Steaks Drops Glenn Beck
Omaha Steaks’ ads recently started running on Glenn Beck’s program on Fox News.
As with other advertisers, participants in the StopBeck effort reached out to Omaha Steaks. We kindly requested that they follow the responsible action of hundreds of other former advertisers and refrain from advertising on Glenn Beck’s show.
Well, your efforts paid off.
This morning, Omaha Steaks announced that they were removing their ads from Glenn Beck’s program (emphasis added):
Omaha Steaks buys large units of national television advertising during the holiday season. This year, we bought a package of advertising through the Fox Network. We did not specifically request to be included on the Glenn Beck program. As part of our contract, the Omaha Steaks ads run in a variety of time slots throughout the day.
We took your comments regarding the Glenn Beck Program to heart. After further review and careful consideration, we have decided to pull all advertising from Glenn Beck programming effective December 20th, 2010. Unfortunately, due to advertising cancellation policies, we were bound to continue possible ad placements through Sunday, December 19th.
At Omaha, we greatly value the loyalty and support of our customers, fans and followers and thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.
Great work all! See, your tweets and messages really do matter.
Here we see another advertiser stepping up and taking the responsible action. Don’t dismiss these actions, they are important steps as we continue to gear up for our broader DropFox accountability effort.
Onward we go…
Same here.............
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
I never saw the ads.
Funny thing is that if they don’t pull their ads off FOX news altogether, they still support him.
Good point!
Boycott Omaha steaks.
Had they never advertised with him in the first place, I’d have no opinion about them one way or the other. Having pulled their advertising, though, they are definitely on my radar. But not in a good way.
Omaha really thinks liberals are the ones who buy their overpriced beef?
Same again.
I like Beck.
As someone said, it’s like listening to a graduate seminar in American Government.
Hell, it’s better than any seminar I had at University.....
Amazingly.
This makes little sense from a business standpoint because I am willing to wager that Beck fans are more likely to be steak eaters than the radical left Beck boycotters who feast on granola and tofu.
So Omaha Steaks only wants liberals to buy their product?
Ok.
Very odd Omaha Steaks would advertise on Glenn Beck. They are big Democrat donors in Nebraska.

Dang! AFTER our purchases were made.
I would BET that the number of Conservatives vs. the number of the Daily Kos/DU/Media Matters/MoveOn.org crowd that uses Omaha Steaks as gifts is not even close to a contest.
I will be letting them know that our corporate Christmas Gifts will no longer include their offerings.
They advertise or did advertise on the radio show.
FOr the future... is there an alternative?
MIL sends us Omaha each Christmas. Mr ColdOne orders twice a year. Not now.
Hopefully for Omaha Steaks, the Beck-hating, faggot vegans will pick up the slack for all of those Beck supporters who will no longer buy their products.
