We've been popping champagne all day at The New 940 after we got news that Glenn Beck is going to keep his radio show going through 2017.

Its a five year contract reportedly worth in the $100 million range.  That's a good range to be in.

Many thought with Beck's departure from FoxNews he would fade from the national consciousness and go broke with his online GBTV network.

Boy, were they wrong.

Glenn has been doing his radio show for ten years and ratings are up 50% from last year.  His deal is with Clear Channel Communications and you can hear Beck every weekday morning on KIXZ beginning at 8am.
