NEW YORK, April 6 (UPI) -- Glenn Beck will be ending his Fox TV show and moving on to other projects with the network, his company and Fox announced Wednesday.
Beck will "transition off of his daily program … later this year" and will develop content for Fox's television and digital platforms, the joint statement from Fox and Beck's Mercury Radio Arts stated. The TV show's end date was not specified.
Joel Cheatwood, a Fox senior vice president, will be moving to Mercury, they added.
The liberal Media Matters for America, a constant foe of Fox and Beck, crowed that the news was "no surprise" since advertisers were shunning Beck's show for what it considers his extreme views.
Fox says the advertisers shifted to other programs on the network.
Beck has been considering distancing himself from Fox for some time, The New York Times reports. He was said to be contemplating a partial or complete takeover of a cable channel -- like Oprah Winfrey -- or expanding his Web video subscription service.
