Landing on his feet just hours after his program was dropped by Fox News Channel, controversial host Glenn Beck announced today that he had just inked a new contract to join the cable network Syfy, formerly known as the Sci Fi Channel. Speaking at a press conference announcing the move, Mr. Beck told reporters, “The best part of this deal is that I won’t need to change my format at all.” Mr. Beck said that his program was “a perfect fit” for a schedule of programming packed with aliens, paranoid conspiracy theories and alternative universes. But the TV host’s enthusiasm was tempered somewhat by Syfy spokesperson Tracy Klugian, who told reporters, “We warned Glenn that if he’s going to be a good fit for Syfy he’s going to have to tone down his act a bit. Some of the stuff he did on Fox is a little too ‘out there’ for us.” Mr. Beck said that his new deal would run “until 2012 or the end of the world, whichever comes sooner,” and that he would be paid in gold bullion and ammo. Meanwhile, Congress reassured the American people that during a government shutdown essential services would still be provided to Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq.

I love Glen Beck. He will rock any station he is on. :)
Ms. diva betsy ross, Glenn Beck has deceived you. Perhaps you haven't heard of his infamous fake tears broadcasts and crowing about the outcome to draw an audience towards his magnetic personality.
It's this kind of behavior that has chased viewers away, he needs clean up his pt barnum act and just report the facts in a professional manner, and leave his silly antic for juvenile birthday parties.
Ms. Murron, I totally agree with you. And so do the SCIFI executives that have shown an interest in Glenn Beck. For Beck to survive, he must tone done some of his Hollywood theatrics. The article states this, too.

I'm not a big fan but I did like the info he was leaking, having to separate his news from his BS act just got tiresome. My son gave me his book as a gift, it's got some pretty good exposing facts in it, but it's his childish behavior that makes me just want to slap his face...lol &;-)
