Glenn Beck Gets Repeat Hour On Fox News

Glenn Beck has been a ratings hit for Fox News, even out-drawing Sean Hannity's huge numbers recently. And now, the Huffington Post has learned, there will be twice as much of him on the network.

Beginning on Tuesday, March 17, Beck's show will repeat at 2AM each night (11PM on the west coast), according to a Fox News insider. The decision was made in response to viewer demand. Beck's show regularly airs at 5PM.

And while overnight programming decisions may not seem that significant at first glance, Fox News is the only cable news network with original late-night programming, with "Red Eye" airing at 3AM, a sign of the value of the network's overnight real estate.

OMG.....at least the rerun is in the middle of the night. Watched it a couple of times because I couldn't believe the first time....never again. He makes me scream at the TV....kinda like Hannity, O'Reily and Dobbs.

Absolutely love Beck. He's on the rise and really cares about GOD and Country. It's good to know that someone is fighting for the Constitution and our GOD given rights and against Socialist Idealism.

I'm a fan of Beck's WAR ROOM. What would Stephen Colbert do without him? Highly
Recommend recent Colbert mockery of Glenn Beck called BUNKER OF DOOM. It will make
you laugh till you hurt.

Glenn Beck. Ugghh.

[RobDoub]

I thought Glenn Beck was all reruns...all his shows sound like the same garbage to me.

[drummer4]

Beck is just a Limbaugh "wannabe"!

[Skeetshooter]

One can only hope that if one hour of Beck is not enough, that two hours of him will be a bit too much. I've yet to hear a word from his mouth that bears a second thought.

[solarian]

he shouldn't have the first hour

[alanearth]

Leave it to fixed news to leed the way in idiocy.

[krocklin]

No. Don't forget it was CNN that gave him his first TV gig, and kept him on low ratings and everything.

[10SNE1]

This will further solidify Fixed News as the channel of choice for out of touch, narrow minded thinkers. They will continue painting themselves into an ever shrinking corner...

There is always going to be a significant number of paranoid, bigoted, goofballs out there, and talking heads like Beck to appeal to them.

[nettyspagetti]

Maybe Jon Stewart should invite Glenn Beck on his show

[Gidster]

PAY PER VIEW!!!!!

I would pay to see Beck try and hold up his opinions to scrutiny!

The saddest thing about Beck is that anyone wants to watch him. He has nothing to say, beyond the confimation of certain right wing prejudices, he is not the least bit insightful and he is boring. I can only understand his appeal when I realize that Fox has many hours of programming to fill.

They could put him on 24hrs a day and I still wouldn't watch him and his anti-american views. He, like the rest of them, are only for themselves and the repug party. How can any true American listen to these people or watch faux news is beyond me. Sad that the people who do follow them can't stand-up and think for themselves.

Since I live on the west cost, he airs at 2:00 pm my time. I'm looking forward to watching the freak show at 11:00 pm. Kind of like not being able to look away from a car accident on the road.

People ought to watch this hilarious video clip of Shepard Smith mocking Beck:

IGlenn Beck is a perfect fit for the Fox News loony bin, but I don't know what Smith is doing there. I guess he's the token sane person.

[Indie2008]

Wow, Way to go Shep!, Priceless!-- He was mocking Beck to his face, and I think it went right over his head!

[Mohanna]

I agree, I really like Shepard Smith.

[TheBaffler]

Priceless!

Doesn't the folks at Faux News have anything better to do than contribute to our national nausea?

Pepto-Bismol, please.
