11 Months (Well Almost) Of Zero Advertisers For Glenn Beck In UK

As recently noted in a New York Times Magazine article, literally hundreds of advertisers refuse to purchase ad time on Glenn Beck’s show. But, did you know…

As of January 9, 2011, the broadcast of Glenn Beck’s show in the U.K. has run without any commercials for nearly 11 months thanks to your efforts.

Background:

The Fox News Channel is broadcast in the U.K, which means Glenn Beck is as well. Along with the StopBeck – UK Effort, participants in the StopBeck Effort reached out and urged advertisers to stop sponsoring Mr. Beck’s vitriol, sexism and preying on racial anxieties. Once aware of the reckless vitriol they were associating their brands with, advertisers were quick to flee – some of them leaving Fox News as a whole.

Your efforts were so effective that beginning February 9, the U.K. broadcast of Glenn Beck’s show ran without commercials. In other words, a total advertiser blackout for Mr. Beck in the U.K. Earlier this summer, advertisers briefly returned. But, participants in the StopBeck effort sprang to action and within a short while all ads were back off of Glenn Beck’s show again.

That's why this would never work here.

5. Beck is more like the dog at the end of Rogers leash.

Faux is not only not fair and balanced but they do not run shows to make a profit for investors. Oh, I almost forgot, faux is not a business, it is a private bully pulpit of a few mental cases.
