It should be interesting to watch the quality of the content and program shape after the initial launch. I signed up for the free trial and watched about 15 minutes of it yesterday before I had to turn it off. The couple minutes I did watch came off a little amateurish, although he did have some good guest. I hear a lot of the little armature issues are being blamed on a last minute switch, I believe of studios, from Texas back to NYC. Right now you can get GBTV on your computer, iphone, ipad and roku (Matty, i believe you have all 4 so youre really in luck! (jk)).

Regardless of what you think of him his old show on Fox News was put together EXTREMELY well on a daily basis. Im not sure if he kept everyone from his old staff, supposedly he had more researchers and writers than any other hour long “news” program. It also felt like he was just trying to do too much and present too much info in his first show. It’s the first show, they should of recorded it on 20 or 30 min delay….

Ill admit I used to watch Glenn Beck during his 9/12 Project stuff up to his Resorting Honor days (DC rally). But he goes through stages or ”acts” where he comes across contemptuous or condescending in a attackful way which is what gives him a bad name and lost viewers (like me). Honestly when he is “just asking questions” and pointing out the facts most media completely ignores he is at his best and offers a completely under-served but highly demanded perspective. The 10-15 minutes I saw yesterday was his spiteful self not the “let me present all the facts and let you form your own opinion” side.

I jumped ship and now just have internet, a computer and a roku which is working out really well. The only thing I miss is a legit news program (I really like the Fox Report w Sheppard Smith) and few shows from CNBC, ESPN and Comcast SportsNet. Im also worried about college bball season. Im hoping GBTV is successful just because it will facilitate more online content.

He going all in on this and regardless if you like him or not I think its best for everyone if he successful.

For those interested about the show heres a good write-up:

Au contraire, I'd like to see the delivery method be a success and Glen Beck fail miserably, he's a religious lunatic.

Unfortunately i think if he fails he significantly sets the streaming content medium back. Although with exception to a existing established network i think the Glenn Beck brand is one of the very few that could actually pull it off.

Glenn is absolutely religious and he is a Mormon. But he doesnt discriminate against atheists, agnostics, or people of different denominations and more importantly he never forces his religious views on people. I would say every 1 in 25-50 times he references God he lets you know what he means by God. Beck often uses the line in the Deceleration of Independence for what he means by God:

that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights

He says "creator" (or God) is whatever you want it to be, except for another person or entity like the government. I think he uses nature as a prime substitute for God if you dont believe in God. Its the idea that theres a greater importance then just our own and basic laws of humanity cannot be granted from others. God or Creator is a lot easier to say and conveys his point well.

When i first started to listen to Beck his occasional references to God turned me off, but once i heard him explain what he meant combine with the fact he doesnt force his beliefs on anyone i was cool with it.
