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:
