Glenn Beck signs $100 million radio contract
Source: msnbc.com
Glenn Beck will remain a force in radio for at least five more years. The conservative firebrand has inked a new five-year, $100 million deal with Clear Channel's Premiere Networks. The pact, roughly double the size of the previous five-year deal he signed in 2007, is a vote of confidence for the syndicated "Glenn Beck Program," which regularly lures 10 million listeners a week. The morning show, behind only to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity's radio programs in typical audience size, is carried by more than 400 stations. Since "The Glenn Beck Program's" official launch in early 2002, Beck has used the mutliple-hour format to peddle all part of the Beck brand, from books to Web shows to comedy events. The news, first reported by The New York Times, comes about a year after Beck signed off on his popular if ever-controversial Fox News show. In the months since, he has continued to grow his subscription-based Internet-only network, GBTV, which a recent Wall Street Journal article estimated would bring in at least $40 million in revenue this year.

Do they not belong to the public?
I can't even put this one in words  . It's fricken absurd.
I used to listen to some serious shit on short wave when I was barely 40 and really beginning to ask questions. If I had stuck with something like Beck, I'd be fucking nuts and ready for the loon farm. This is seriously fucked up. The numbers must be stations that play automatically in chain stores and Walmart break rooms. Jesus H Christ, I'm going to bed... |
