Celebrating His Remarkable 2008

(New York, New York - March 19th, 2009) The Glenn Beck Program, America's third highest rated radio show, continued its remarkable success in the Fall of 2008 growing 52% nationwide Year-to-Year in the A25-54 demo according to the just released Arbitron Fall 2008 Nationwide Survey. This announcement comes on the heels of Radio and Records naming Beck News/Talk/Sports Syndicated Personality of the Year.

Julie Talbott, Premiere Radio Networks EVP/Affiliate Marketing, said: "It has been so exciting working with Glenn and watching this amazing growth. His broadcasting style provides a completely unique approach for Talk Radio."

These Fall 2008 ratings build off of the sustained growth Beck has enjoyed since launching a talk radio show just a few years ago. The Glenn Beck Program, syndicated by Premiere Radio Networks, launched nationally on just 47 stations in January 2002. Today, the show is now heard on over 350 stations nationwide and is the third highest rated radio program in the country.

In early 2009, The Glenn Beck Program has continued its strong momentum. As previously announced, this year the show has added new affiliates including Columbus, Ohio's News Talk 610 WTVN, Portland's NewsRadio 750 KXL-AM and WOR News/Talk Radio 710 HD in New York, which beat News Talk Radio 77WABC in Beck's 9-11 am timeslot, just one month after the show launched.
