Thursday, June 30th was the finale of Fox News Channel’s “Glenn Beck Show.” After more than two years of dominating the 5pm time slot against CNN and MSNBC, Fox and Beck split amicably and it was announced that starting July 11, 2011, something called “The Five” would replace Beck.
As we all await the debut of the new show that Fox is building for the 5pm hour, the channel has been filling that time slot with some interesting programming choices;
Friday – July 1 – A John Stoessel Special did very well and easily bested CNN and MSNBC. In all fairness, most of the usual anchors/hosts were already in the Hamptons, celebrating the long weekend.
Monday – July 4 – (a holiday) The Glenn Beck Show – a rerun of an old program handily won the time slot in every demo.
Tuesday – July 5 – Casey Anthony Verdict Special -
Wednesday – July 6 - Another Beck rerun, another big win over CNN and MSNBC (both with original, live hosted shows)
Thursday – July 7 - Yet ANOTHER Glenn Beck Show rerun, and another victory over CNN & MSNBC
(For the record, the wall-to-wall Casey Anthony coverage on Headline News – HLN did provide a spike in that channel’s ratings and gave them a slim win against Beck re-runs and a rare win over all of these programs. But the cool-down has already started. The purpose of this study was to compare “apples to apples”)

Posted on July 9, 2011 at 10:34amC’mon Fox. Hurry up and put Jeraldo in this time slot.
Report Post »I understand he wants to start a campaign to help OJ recover his “Good Name”
Ya know, Ol‘ Jeraldo was one of OJ’s biggest defender waay back when.
I caught babblin’ bILLo last night where jeraldo says he wants to give Bernie a bloody nose.
I usually switch channels when his f(Jeraldo or Juan)face appears on Fox but I knew he was responding to Bernie.
Did anyone notice his hair looked like a cheap wig last night.? He looked like something the kpussy dragged in.
He should have taken his stache and draped it over his head.
Wanna increase Fox ratings even more. Put Jeraldo & Williams in Becks’ spot.Not in a Point counter Point type show. ya know, they can do a marxist Point marxist Point show. They will take the 50 people who watches PMSNBC and make them Fox’s vierers.

Posted on July 9, 2011 at 10:32amFox doesn’t even need Beck just show his blackboard that has more honest information than Mathews has shown in 5 years.I have never watched Chris Mathews I believe he is a corrupt man who is not fit to have been associated with Moynahan..

Posted on July 9, 2011 at 10:29amThe last day Glenn was on Fox I subscribed to GBTV.com. I will NOT be watching, “The Five.”
In this day and age the, “Fair and Balanced” thing is BS. We need strong conservative facts and opinions. Fox is getting too wishy washy.

Posted on July 9, 2011 at 10:21amI was surprised and thrilled to find that the re-runs were on this week. He has taught our family a lot and we will miss him. In September we will all roll up our sleeves and with Glenn’s GBTV and the great American people we will get our country back…. can’t wait until 2012 cleans the White House.
I too wish that Fox would play all of Glenn’s previous shows.. I’d love a refresher course until the election. A lot of his information is starting to have some light shed on it…. miracles are happening everyday, and I’m a happy camper.
I support the USA & Israel

Really pleased that reruns of Glenn’s wonderful programs are being watched. Our tv was on the other day because we’d forgotten to turn it off, and there was Glenn! What a wonderful surprise. If I were FOX, I‘d leave Glenn’s programs on for the next 2.5 years. Maybe more folks will wake up.

Posted on July 9, 2011 at 9:56amNot surprising at all that Beck would win the ratings war EVEN up against live shows on other news channels. Beck not only entertained but he EDUCATED as well and his conservative views struck a note with so many American‘s that I believe there will not be another show for quite a while that will be able to generate the ratings that Glenn’s show did. Good luck to all because Glenn’s shoes are going to be pretty much impossible to fill! “Every knee will bow and every tongue confess”

Posted on July 9, 2011 at 10:56amYeah, even other radio talk show hosts are jealous of Him…like Michael Savage, for one. But in My humble opinion, NO ONE else stands up for the truth, and what is right, like Glenn does! And NO ONE else is willing to stand for GOD as much as Glenn does, no matter what anyone else thinks!

Posted on July 9, 2011 at 10:32amI also watch the reruns. Facts and truth never get old. My liberal friends and family keep repeating the “Beck got fired for taking on and slandering that old, rich Jewish guy”. Interesting that last nights rerun had copious references to Sora$$ designs on destroying the US.
