Glenn Beck’s Show In UK Has Had Zero Ads Past Three Days
Glenn Beck’s Show In UK Has Had Zero Ads Past Three Days

If you’re not aware, Glenn Beck’s show airs in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, we have been targeting his sponsors in the United States as well as in the U.K. (with the assistance from the StopBeck – UK Effort).

During the last week and a half, Glenn Beck lost his 100th, 101st and 102nd sponsors. A full list of all 102 sponsors that dropped Mr. Beck (or Fox News as a whole) can be found here. Please note that this total includes sponsors that have dropped him both United States and/or in the United Kingdom.

It seems like our efforts are having an effect…

Glenn Beck’s show in the United Kingdom has not run any commercials during the past three days (Tues-Thurs). Glenn Beck’s show in the UK used to run commercials. The shows that come on before and after Glenn Beck still run commercials. But, for the past three days, Mr. Beck hasn’t had any sponsors in the U.K. During the commercial break, instead of running ads, they cut away to Sky News updates or the weather. Perhaps they’re having trouble finding sponsors willing to subsidize Glenn Beck’s misinformation, vitriol, sexism and race-baiting?

This really is great news and testament to the continued participation in this effort by many.

1. Goes to show that Beck and other reichwing programs have little to do with advertising revenues..

Anything other than out and out propaganda that didn't get any advertising would be gone in in the time it takes a photon to travel the Planck length.

Edited for speling.

2. They don't have enough whack jobs in the UK that they need to import from the US?
Or is it because a British citizen has legal problems if they attempted to act like a whack job in the UK?

5. I really wish we wouldn't export our stupid
Airing Glenn Beck overseas makes about as much sense as airing Jerry Springer. Nothing good comes from exposing our idiots like that to the rest of the world.

8. I guess Roger Ails miscalculated...
...the lunatic fringe in the UK (mostly Islamic extremists). Whereas, here in the states we're sort of the melting pot of extremists.

7. God... I am embarrassed enough that Beck is on in the US...
My humiliation quota is off the scale, knowing he's been inflicted on the Brits as well. Ugggh. Talk about "UGLY AMERICAN." :mad:

10. If they're broadcasting Beck in England
someone needs to take advantage of their absolutely insane defamation laws and sue him and Fox into oblivion.
