Glenn Beck Considering Own Channel

The New York Times is reporting that radio and television host Glenn Beck may be thinking about staking out on his own. This follows rumors that the FoxNews channel would not renew its contract with the popular host.

Beck's rating have dropped precipitously over the last year, after he surprised many by becoming the second-most popular host on the channel.

Now it appears that Beck may be trying to go his own way:

Notably, Mr. Beck’s company has been staffing up — making Web shows, some of which have little or nothing to do with Mr. Beck, and charging a monthly subscription for access to the shows.
Were Mr. Beck to set off on his own, it would be a landmark moment for the media industry, reflecting a shift in the balance of power between media institutions and the personal brands of people they employ.

Do you think he'd do it?

  1. He must be a close second in neoconservative status to Mr. Rush Limbaugh..?
