That triggered boycotts of the show's advertisers.
And his ratings have dropped 40 percent from their peak.
This has nothing to do with ANYTHING! I can't wait until his next venture makes you guys go ballistic and blow a gasket or two. It's going to be worth it's weight in gold.

Fresh from the mouth of Roger Ailes himself on Beck:[b][i] "Half of the headlines say he’s been canceled, the other half say he quit. We’re pretty happy with both of them.”

Also, from your article:

Quote:
Whether advertiser backlash played any role in Beck’s departure from the 5 p.m. slot, Ailes said no, though he conceded the reaction of advertisers was “frustrating,” telling the AP, “advertisers who get weak-kneed because some idiot on a blog site writes to them and says we need to stifle speech, I get a little frustrated by that.”
Also, the headline of your article that you linked to even says:

Quote:
Roger Ailes Says He ‘Doesn’t Care’ If Reports Claim Glenn Beck Was Fired Or Quit?
Says he DOESN'T CARE WHAT YOU PEOPLE SAY.

Doesn't have to be a premium channel, you still pay for it. If you have basic subscription you don't get it.

Loss of advertisers and dropping ratings has "nothing to do with ANYTHING"? LOL!
