Quote(CNN) - Fox News Channel anchor Glenn Beck will end his daily show later this year to develop and produce a variety of television projects to air on the channel, according to a release Wednesday.

The new agreement between FNC and Mercury Radio Arts will ensure Beck appears on the television network and through other "digital properties."

"Glenn Beck is a powerful communicator, a creative entrepreneur and a true success by anybody's standards. I look forward to continuing to work with him," Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes said in a statement.

"Glenn Beck" launched in 2009. The host previously hosted a show on CNN's sister network HLN.

Howard Kurtz, Washington bureau chief for The Daily Beast and host of CNN's "Reliable Sources" said the split was a "divorce many months in the making."

"By the end, both sides wanted out," Kurtz said in an email. "Beck's show proved too radioactive for Fox, and the network became an uncomfortable home for Glenn Beck."

I think I would rather him confined to one dusty show than producing a "variety" of other projects, to be honest.

Yes.  And they won't air any.  And he'll eventually quit, and rant on the internet.

One can hope.

See, rational people hear "Glenn Beck," and immediately know that what's going to follow will be a load of horseshit so tainted that it's not even good fertilizer.  Let him hide behind a half-dozen puppets and the monkeys will get even stupider, and I'm not sure I can take that.

Read the announcement carefully.

It's corporatese, like "furthering his career", or "spending more time with his family".

Ah...  I'm not good with corporatese.  Shorthand for "they won't let us take his ass out back and shoot him."

thought that was the most revealing part of the article.

maybe he'll do another round of his "comedy" tour
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

Guess which one my bet's on?

More likely, he'll hook up Sarah Palin, and they'll spiral into failure as a team.

Oh FUCK, Roger, I did NOT need that visual.

Palin in a dom costume, Beck with his wrists strapped to a headboard, tears running down his face framing the ball gag...

Shit, no.  I meant a "political alliance".  She wouldn't fuck him, he's a Mormon, and thus - to her - a non-Christian animal.  Fine for helping combat LIBRUL DEFF PANELS, but not so much for anything else.  Besides, she has Todd, when he isn't fucking that fat masseuse.
