Glenn Beck Renews Radio Deal For $100 Million Over Five Years?!?!?!?!?!
Glenn Beck will remain on the radio for five more years.
Beck renewed his radio deal with Premiere Networks, a unit of Clear Channel, for a reported $100 million dollars over five years. Though Beck’s production company Mercury Radio Arts and Premiere would not comment on the value of the new deal, Beck’s reported new contract is worth twice as much as his last deal. In 2007, his contract was reportedly valued at $50 million over five years.
Beck’s “The Glenn Beck Program” typically ranks third as the most listened to radio program behind Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. His program airs in more than 400 markets from 9:00 a.m. – noon, a time slot that will see some new voices including former GOP primary candidate, Herman Cain.
The new deal comes almost one year after Beck left Fox News to start his own Internet-based network, GBTV. Beck announced his departure from Fox News in April 2011, and his plans for GBTV the following month. At the time of the network’s launch in September, the Wall Street Journal reported that Beck nabbed roughly 230,000 subscribers, each paying either $10 or $5 per subscription.
While Beck left the national stage of Fox News, he remains a powerful figure in media. In May 2012, Beck made the Forbes 100 Most Powerful Celebrities list. He ranked 23 with a reported $80 million in earnings.
Hmmm lets see 100 million for 5 years…well that comes out too 20 million a year my friends….and for what really ?
To spread division throughout this country,to tell outright lies,to enrage as many people as he possibly can ?
Now I’m going to tell you all something and that is if the networks that sponsored Rachael Maddow,or Rush Limbaugh,or
Keith Olbermann or Sean Hannity did that I would still be saying WTF.
Sure the amount that they pay these people is ludicrous
but what is even more disturbing is that they are not exactly for the common good of this country,rather they continuously
seek,it seems to fragment this country…Now I could see if they offered 100 million over 5 years to at least someone who was working for the common good…ohhh I don’t know like perhaps the Teacher of the year,or the Fireman of the year,or Nurse of the year.
Even the postman,milkman, or Garbageman of the year
hey wait a minute…….naw I won’t go there………lol….
But Glenn F’n Beck……common now !!!!!!!!! I mean really….
We have things all backwards in this country and the world when people like Glenn Beck and the like make such outrageous amounts of money for doing nothing short of spreading his hate and malice to anyone that will listen.
Thank you

Hi Lemur,
I used to love to watch his show on Fox news. The man introduced new things to me about the constitution, amendments, and history. Yes, there was a time when I took his opinions and spread it around, like I knew what I was talking about. Unfortunately, I got bored and started to look up some stuff.
I like the man about 45%. Perhaps less than that. I have to give me a little kudos to introduce me to new things.
Me, I just wish the following:
A) He would either admit that his opinions on those things or look up facts.
B) More people would look up what he says and learn new things.
I know, there will always be followers. The man is making a lot of money because his belief is the same as a few others. He makes good points. But, I do not like the negative side of it. I think a lot of people are not using or learned critical thinking.
Ok, mine opinion. The man should pay a hefty tax. Not because he has the ability to make money or found a group of people that believes in his own belief, hence make money. No, it should not be a punishment either. He should pay a hefty tax because he America can use the money to grow and rebuild herself.
Ya know we are going over a Fiscal Cliff,…Cliff… going over a cliff… a clif… going over a cliff.
Wow…THey all stay on message. THey invent words and change the meaning of others.
I wonder why, good common people that happen to be Republicans, don’t seem to notice the script.
Freedom Works is doing a bang up job. Got to love them Koch brothers.
Americans for Prosperity can piss in everyones drinking water and half the country supports them.
