Glenn Beck‘s Fox News show will come to an end later this year, though he’ll continue doing other projects with the network. Glenn makes the announcement at the end of today’s show, and in an interview Fox News CEO Roger Ailes says that while Beck brought an insane “unique perspective” to the channel, “That story of what’s going on and why America is in trouble today, I think he told that story as well as could be told. Whether you can just keep telling that story or not … we’re not so sure.” Ailes dismissed the idea that this has something to do with 400 Fox advertisers saying they don’t want their ads on his show.
