Again, ratings? Irrelevant to whether a show gets cancelled or not. It's whether or not businesses want to be associated with Beck. So far? It doesn't look like it. When you have Geico and Progressive pull sponsorship, it's safe to say many other companies who have have customers in the millions won't want to be associated with you either. Progressive has ads on Jack-Ass. Why pull out of Glenn Beck? Geico has ads on Spike. Why pull out of Glenn Beck? Well, aside from being afflicted with the STI known as stupidity, they'd also be associated with the guy who has called the president a racist, predicted the end of the world, tried to associated the anti-Christ with Muslims. The only wishful thinking here is yours. It's the type of thinking where you believe that 'viewers' actually mean anything to companies.
Why do you think shows with ratings far bellow Beck's manage to stay on air? Sponsors. Companies want to reach the people watching those shows even if they're just under a million. Once major sponsors start pulling out? Say bye bye to your show.
That shows how little you know about ratings as ratings set the rates networks charge for their ads. Beck's ratings help Fox remain number one and thus demanding the highest advertising fees so as long as Beck's ratings remain high the network still makes money so it is all about ratings. Explain "sweeps" to us all?
