After the jump is the current list of Glenn Beck's remaining sponsors.
Amazingly, today's program didn't have any Gold Bug sponsors. No clue why that happened other than perhaps Time Warner's ads for the Informant are using up so many slots that there's no room for the Gold Bugs. The Informant ad is running so often that Time Warner seems to be Beck's biggest sponsor. If anyone runs into Mr. Damon on the street, please let him know you're not going to see his latest flick until he stops sponsoring Beck's hateful broadcasts. Of course, the flick might flop this weekend. If that happens then all the ads will disappear by Monday (the same might be true if it's a monster hit).
Also, Beck has five NEW SPONSORS: Lexus/Toyota, Bruce Hornsby, Nutramax Labs, AmMed Direct, and getaroom. Please contact these new sponsors and ask them to remove their ads from Beck's show.
Lastly, I'm open for suggestions for how we can mau-mau Roche and Citrix. As you can see from the list after the jump, these two vowed they would drop Beck's show but they've obviously reneged. It sure seems to me that they're hoping no one notices that they're trying to have their cake and eat it too.

This is the list of sponsors of the Glenn Beck Show of Friday, Sep 18, 2009 which aired on Directv channel 360 on the 101W satellite at 2PM PDT (5PM EDT).
Forget about the Gold Bugs, they're thrilled about the hysteria and chaos whipped up by the beckerheads.

I've no idea whether FNC runs PSA ads for free or whether FNC charges the non-profit orgs full price for the air time. If anyone gets any info from these orgs, one way or the other, please let me know.
NOTE: In many cases, the contracts the sponsors sign are Run Of Schedule (ROS) contracts. What that means is that they're buying non-specific blocks of air-time and Fox News Channel drops the ads into any open slot. So the sponsor may not even realize their spots are appearing during the Glenn Beck show (they might not even know they're appearing on FNC).
Please tell the sponsor that if they've got a ROS contract with FNC (or their ad agency), that they should ask FNC to modify their ROS contract to specify "No Glenn Beck".
