His radio show, The Glenn Beck Program, is syndicated by over 230 radio stations across the [[United States]]. His television show, Glenn Beck, appeared daily on [[CNN]] Headline News, before he switched to FOX, during the 6:00 p.m. hour (EDT). <br />

==Liberal attempts to silence Beck==<br />
Liberal activism groups attempted to silence Beck by pushing his advertisers to abandon his program, after he pointed out [[Barack Obama]]'s [[racism]] against white people and Obama's [[hate|hatred]] of white culture. This prompted "RedState" to defend Beck and call for a boycott of the advertisers on his show who were convinced boycotting it would be in their best interests by people who think words, especially inflammatory and ridiculous ones like these, should have consequences.<br />
<br />
The publicity over the attempts on Beck's popularity achieved a result that the liberals cannot have intended: Beck was featured on the cover of [[Time]] magazine, and in a nomimal insult to liberal pride; he is depicted sticking his tongue out at the reader. Beck, however, was less than pleased with the Time cover: He stated that ''Time'' ought to have featured the large crowds attending the [[September 12 March on Washington]] and not him on its cover.<br />
<br />
== Known favorite associations ==<br />
Beck frequently has Judge [[Andrew Napolitano]] appear as a guest on his program. Judge Napolitano has even hosted the Glenn Beck show himself when Mr. Beck was on assignment.<br />
