NEW YORK — Glenn Beck, who burned bright and burned fast at Fox News Channel, did his final show on the network Thursday before going into business for himself. Beck is setting up his own Internet network, GBTV, and will begin streaming a two-hour live show there in September. His fans can pay $9.95 a month for access to GBTV, or $4.95 to see just his daily show.
Beck’s conservative populism resonated immediately with Fox viewers when he started in January 2009. An advertising boycott that began after Beck said President Barack Obama had a “deep-seated hatred for white people” led to more than 400 advertisers telling Fox they didn’t want their commercials seen on his show.
