Glenn Beck’s Much Discussed Web Venture? Reportedly To Be Called Simply ‘GBTV’

After his exit from Fox News, Glenn Beck has made clear for months his future would involve a presence on the web. Now we have an idea of a name for at least part of the venture: GBTV. Mediabistro reports a patent filing for the name, along with a motto:

GBTV will be based at GBTV.com, which Mercury acquired in January.

Mercury also filed a trademark on a tagline for the channel: “The Truth Lives Here,” as well as a logo (pictured after the jump), based on the logo for his “InsiderExtreme” subscription service.

The trademark applications are limited exclusively to programming delivered via the internet, so it is not likely that GBTV will become an actual TV network anytime in the near future. Mercury also filed the GBTV trademark for ancillary products, like DVDs, podcasts, mobile applications and video games.

As Mediaite first reported ahead of Beck’s announced departure, Beck’s future online and perhaps television plans will be guided by the addition of TV executive Joel Cheatwood:

A source close to the situation tells Mediaite, “There is a strong indication that Glenn Beck has bigger plans for his TV future than anyone thought, as it looks like Joel Cheatwood, SVP of Production/Development at Fox News, will be joining Mercury Radio Arts very soon to work closely with Glenn on his next creative idea.”

It’s so unfortunate that Glenn Beck “got fired” like all these folks keep trying to make us believe. I wish I were that “crazy” and “wrong”. I’m sure they’ll keep one trying to advance that claim despite the evidence, thereby illustrating their other nonsense. They don’t seem to mind exposing themselves. (for being fools, not physically)

LOL….Glenn Beck is no different from that lunatic preacher who predicted the end of the world. They will follow him off of a damn cliff. Beck has sure moved up in the world. Going from hosting a dominated cable news program to competing with porn websites. I wonder how that deranged teabagger Pablo is going to spin this?

This guy is a total nut. But i must admit he seems to work his ass off being a nut. He’s got like 60 things going at once and a family with who knows how many kids. I think he’s figured out a way to clone himself.

Yes, because clearly Beck is a lazy SOB.

Besides having a daily tv & radio program, writing multiple books, doing stage shows, and organizing rallies, what does Beck do, really?

What a slacker!

Seen on Channel 472 in between QVC 3 Household Items, and The Bass Channel, all bass fishing all the time. Bye Glenn.

—If it’s so easy why don’t you do it yourself? I was a DJ in my college radio station and one day I tried doing what GB does on the radio and guess what? I failed miserably. Why? Because it’s not easy! It’s freakingly hard, you have to do a ton of research, you need a great voice, you need to be super sharp, funny, interesting. It doesn’t happen by magic, even the jerks at MSNBC had to fight to get on and stay on the air. Right or left, if you’re on the media you have accomplished something most people haven’t. So you go ahead and doubt Beck because chances are he will succeed with this venture just like he has succeeded with other ventures. It’s jealous losers like you that don’t succeed and instead waste your time blaimming everything on capitalism, imperialism, racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, or whatever bullshit you can find.

Anyone who hasn’t been listening to him, that is. He’s been talking about big, big plans for months. He’s been suggesting that his detractors will soon long for the day when he was just the 5:00 guy, which I guess they can start doing as soon as he finishes “getting fired.” Does anyone know when that is?

Who can you boycott when he doesn’t work for anybody? That’s how Rush has won the game for so many years. Beck appears to be taking it to overdrive.

Capitalism is boss.

Here’s some spin for you, James. Beck had $40 million in revenue last year. Damned little of it came from Fox News. Do the math, genius. Or just watch and learn.

Glenn Beck will succeed because he is infinitely talented, he has a strong work ethic, his message is true, and this is America…for the moment.

It’s comical to listen to losers speak of Beck like he is, or ever actually was an ” employee ” at ” FOX “. O’Reilly is an example of an ” employee “, Beck…NOT so much, or on your life.

Do you find something funny about lesbians, gays and transsexuals that requires mocking? Are your hopes normally driven by sick reasons?

I like how the image has a poster espousing charity, when right wingers detest the idea. Funny.

You have our view towards charity confused with how we feel about being forced by a corrupt government into giving to freeloading scumbags that scream at the top of their ( your ) lungs, you hate my guts.

Why don’t you compare the charitable giving of Bush and Cheney with that of Obama and Biden? Charity doesn’t involve the government, genius.

The Foundation Behind Glenn Beck’s Million-Dollar Rally

Since Glenn Beck has started talking about the group on his radio and television shows in advance of the 8/28 rally, some $5 million in donations have poured in. “We’ve never had an event that cost this much either,” says Rosenthal. “I was at the Lincoln Memorial just looking at the number of port-a-potties and the screens that are being set up.”

These and other logistics for the rally cost $1 million, according to Rosenthal; the rest of the money raised will go to SOWF coffers.

Limbaugh Letter Fetches $2.1 Million on eBay

Rush Limbaugh appears to have the Midas touch.

The conservative radio talk-show host turned an inflammatory letter written by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and signed by 41 of his fellow Democrats into a more than $4.2 million gold mine for the kids of Marines and law enforcement personnel killed in the line of duty, all courtesy of eBay.

The Eugene B. Casey foundation Betty Casey coughed up more than $2.1 million to be the sole owner of the letter sent to the radio host’s boss demanding that Limbaugh be reprimanded for a “phony soldier” comment he made on air. Limbaugh has pledged to match whatever was paid for the letter.

Prom Night Dumpster Baby, can you find me any similar examples on the left? Do tell us who detests charity again, and please show your work.

A LIE! Conservatives give more to charaties than liberals….they always have. If you want to know the truth, you can do your own research…if you want to know the TRUTH, that is.

I don’t know why Beck didn’t just call it: “Send me your money, you gullible suckers!”

Too obvious, I guess.

The reactionary X-3 says:

“Conservatives give more to charaties than liberals,” but he failed to mention (or notice perhaps) that Beck, Mr. Faith, Hope and Charity, just about never actually raises money for charitable causes on his show. Colbert, Olbermann and L. O’Donnell all use their stages to help others, but Glenn Beck rarely, and when he does, after it’s late in the effort to help, raises money to help the poor. Why is that? Because Glenn Beck is a complete hypocrite!
