Citing "run-away ratings," New York's WOR shuffles lineup to add more Glenn Beck

The popularity of the Glenn Beck Show is the reason Buckley-owned WOR-AM (710) is tweaking their lineup. WOR says that Beck’s two-hour late-morning show “consistently outperformed WABC in the Adults 25 to 54 demo in average quarter hour share.” Beck will add a third hour, extending his show from 9am-12noon starting June 22.

8. What in the hell
can anybody yammer on about for three straight hours and why would someone want to listen to it. I'd rather jam an icepick in my ears than listen to that psychotic little shit speak for any length of time.

Plus, who even has AM radio anymore? I just found out the other day, by accident, that it exists in my car.

11. Beck on radio?
But how can anyone look into Glenn's (The extra "n" is for "knowledge"!) eyes to gauge his sincerity?

12. A small correction is in order:
Edited on Thu Jun-11-09 10:41 PM by Contrary1
That should read "Beck’s two-hour hate morning show..."
