NC Radio: Unhappy With Content, WEEB Dropping Glenn Beck

Steve Adams,general manager of Talk WEEB 990 AM, announced Wednesday The Herman Cain Show, will be replacing The Glenn Beck Show, beginning Monday, April 18.

“We feel that Glenn’s show has evolved into a program that is no longer conducive with the WEEB schedule of programs,” Adams said. “We carry a wide variety of programs, including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Michael Savage, and Alan Colmes. Over the last year, we have received an overwhelming number of complaints concerning the content of The Glenn Beck Show.”

Adams said the station has talked to Beck’s vice president of programming about listener’s concerns.

“We told him that Glenn’s show seems to have evolved into a three-hour hate Trump format, and when he isn’t Trump bashing, and demeaning Trump supporters, he’s literally teaching a Bible study course on the air. I enjoy a good Bible study and there is a place for that,” Adams said. “That belongs on a Christian talk station, and not a news talk station.”

Adams pointed out that Rush Limbaugh is a Ted Cruz supporter, just like Beck is, but Limbaugh treats both candidates fairly on his program.

“I think Glenn needs to step back and actually listen to one of his programs. Sometimes it is pure hate being preached in his microphone. I do not have a problem with Glenn supporting Ted Cruz, but I do have a problem when he calls non-supporters ‘idiots,’ which he does quite often,” Adams said.
