Glenn Beck Radio Loses Four More Stations

Glenn Beck’s radio show, syndicated by Premiere Radio, has lost four more affiliates. The Buckley Radio chain reportedly has dropped Beck from four of its stations in Connecticut. Buckley owns 17 stations. 

The stations will drop the show as of April 14.  According to PD Grahame Winters the stations intend to offer more local shows.

"Quite simply, we are making the change in our programming lineup because our listeners have expressed a desire for more locally originated programming featuring issues important to us here at home. This change will more closely align us with that goal."

New York station WOR pulled his show in January, citing poor ratings and WPHT in Philadelphia dropped Beck for local programming earlier this year. Even so, Beck remains the third-biggest radio talk show host in the country, and, according to a source, 88 stations picked up his show in the past year.

KMBZ Kansas City last week demoted Beck's show to a 9pm to midnight slot.
