Group Pushes NYC Radio Stations on Beck

The Jewish Funds for Justice is claiming a partial victory in its effort to keep Glenn Beck's radio program out of the United States' largest media market.

The foundation, which targeted seven New York radio stations, says that five of those stations have agreed  they will not pick up Beck’s show.

WABC, WBBR, WVNH, WVOX, WWRL, WNYM and WMCA were identified by Jewish Funds for Justice as potential new homes for the conservative media titan, said a spokesperson for Jewish Funds for Justice in an email to POLITICO. All but WNYM and WMCA have agreed not to pick up Beck's show, which was dropped by New York's NewsTalk WOR in January.

The spokesperson said to his knowledge, none of those seven stations has run Beck's program in the past, but he did note that WNYM and WMCA are owned by Salem Communications, which he said airs Beck's radio program in other markets. Those two stations have not agreed to Jewish Funds for Justice's request to abstain from airing Beck's show.
