NEW YORK — Advertisers may not love Glenn Beck, but will that stop him from
making a boatload of money?
Beck's new internet-only network, GBTV, debuts its centerpiece "Glenn Beck"
show Monday at 5 EDT, with reports that the network is set to generate more
than $20 million in revenue in its first year.
Beck left Fox News at the end of June -- or was forced to leave, depending
on whom you ask.
While at Fox, Beck drew an average of 2.2 million viewers, but his often-
divisive remarks led to problems with advertisers and, ultimately, conflict
with the network.
Beck then announced his plans for GBTV, moved its headquarters to Texas and
has now racked up more than 230,000 paying subscribers. That already
eclipses the viewership for the Oprah Winfrey Network.
The content of the network is still coming into focus, but in addition to
Beck's two-hour talk show there will be a reality show and a block of
children's programming.
GBTV is available through Roku, or in a digital package that permits
streaming on laptops, tablets and mobile phones. |
