Fox News and Glenn Beck have announced a new deal -- one that will see Beck's slumping 5 p.m. show end later this year.
In a carefully-worded statement, Fox News and Mercury Radio Arts, Beck's production company, announced that they "will work together to develop and produce a variety of television projects for air on the FOX News Channel (FNC) as well as content for other platforms including FOX News' digital properties."
A way of clipping Beck's wings without actually pulling the plug on him all together. I guess Fox feels they owe him that much. I have no idea why, because he's already become a very rich man with their backing. If they fired him, they'd have nothing to feel guilty about. That's showbiz.
