Talk Radio Watch Title: O’Reilly to team up with Glenn Beck on radio Former Fox News titans Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck will be reuniting for a weekly spot on Beck’s radio show. "We're going to do that every Friday until Beck gets tired of me," O'Reilly said Monday on his "No Spin News" podcast. "And it's a good outlet for me to, you know, discuss things back and forth with Beck, who's a good friend. We don't agree on everything, but it's very lively." Beck and O'Reilly are friends going back to their time together at Fox News, when they were the two biggest names on the network before Beck’s abrupt departure in 2011. Beck was shown the door after advertisers fled amid outcry over his controversial rhetoric, even as ratings stayed strong. O’Reilly was ousted from Fox earlier this year after the revelation of a number of sexual harassment claims, despite high ratings. After Beck left the network, O'Reilly still had him back on as a guest on "The Factor" more than any other Fox host. Beck noted last week that the two are close enough that O’Reilly reached out to him the day he was ousted by Fox as he returned from a vacation last month. "I just got an email from Bill a little while ago that said he's on his way home — he's been on vacation; he's been in Italy — and so he's on his way home," Beck said on his Blaze show Wednesday. Beck also said he had a hard time believing the sexual assault allegations against O’Reilly. “He had access [at Fox] to very beautiful women,” he said. “We never saw him utter a word that was even blue humor. He was so buttoned up when he was around us, I find these charges hard to believe.” Beck appeared to offer O’Reilly a spot on The Blaze last week. “I would like you to work for TheBlaze," Beck told O'Reilly on Friday on his radio program. "I could not get the cable coverage by myself because I’m not powerful enough, unless you have a giant corporation behind you. "If we could unite our powers for good, as opposed to evil — but that’s another conversation.” The Blaze would benefit from a big-name addition to its lineup, especially after parting ways with viral conservative young firebrand Tomi Lahren.

#2. To: Stoner (#1) So, O’Reilly to team up with loser Glenn Beck on radio Beck has been blocked several times, trying to expand his media reach to cable/satellite. You may recall he tried to buy Al Gore's network but they screwed around and sold it to al-Jazeera (who later sued them for Gore vastly overpricing it, misrepresenting its market value, and Gore of course lined his own pockets and screwed all the employees and stakeholders at his failed network). It has surprised me that Beck has not managed to combine with Newsmax or with OAN. Both could use a few more big brand names (like Beck or O'Reilly) to draw more fanbois to their own network. If I were OAN or Newsmax, I would be falling all over myself trying to sign Beck and O'Reilly and Mark Levin to deals involving shows that would appear on their cable/satellite systems nationwide. Podcasts and online website video subscriptions just don't have the same reach as being on Directv/Dish Network or on the major cable systems like Charter and Cox and Comcast. There's enough loose brand-name talent out there now that a conservative news network to rival and poach the Fox News audience is quite feasible, provided you can find some investors to fund it for a year or two.
