The Glenn Beck Program
The Glenn Beck Program
9 a.m. – noon ET, Weekdays
Combining elements of the comedy-centric hot talk format and more traditional talk-radio shows like Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity, The Glenn Beck Program has cultivated a unique style of humor, political commentary, and personal reflections from the host.
The first half of each hour of the show is usually monologue by Beck, but occasionally will include a guest or some conversation with the production staff. During the second half of each hour, Beck takes callers and continues discussing the themes he has previously introduced.
Since its inception as a nationally-syndicated show in 2002, The Glenn Beck Program has become one of the highest rated radio programs. Furthermore, it made Beck an influential member of the conservative media and led to a television show on Fox News Channel, three bestselling books, a magazine, and a stage tour. In 2009, many editorials, such as those on The Huffington Post singled out Glenn Beck's radio and television programs for raising issues which led to the resignation of Obama advisor Van Jones.
