After the jump is the current list of Glenn Beck's remaining sponsors.
Beck picked up two NEW SPONSORS today, JK Harris & Company and Debt Relief Network. Curiously in both cases they don't give their company name or a URL, just an 800 number. To unmask them, I had to call their 800 numbers (800-514-8680 and 800-650-6878). So please contact these sneaky beckerheads first!
Interestingly, both companies are located in my hometown. It's possible that the 800 service automatically routes each call to a local operator. So if you don't live in La Jolla, CA (or you don't live on the left-coast), please try calling the 800 numbers and let me know if you get different company names.

Beck's only remaining major sponsor seems to be Roche (#171 on the Fortune Global 500 list).
Roche seems to be trying to have their cake and eat it too. Previously Roche promised to remove their ads from Beck's show.
But Roach has obviously done no such thing. Please notify anyone you know that's diabetic that they should avoid such two-faced double-dealing companies.
Roach also likes to emphasis that their product is made in 'merica by real 'mericans. I suspect they'd prefer not calling the attention of the beckerheads that they're actually a huge Swiss conglomerate run by swiss executives.
It makes me wonder who's their American competitor? It's obviously a better company that doesn't need to be deceptive like Roach.
Also, I've scratched the Gold Bug companies off the list. From what I hear Fox News viewers are their best (perhaps only) customers and they don't give a rat's ass what Beck says as long as he keeps scaring hoards of beckerheads into hoarding gold. But I also suspect they're cheap bastards and probably only buy the absolute cheapest air time they can get; In other words, FNC probably only runs the Gold Bug ads when they can't get anyone else to buy the slot.
This is the list of sponsors of the Glenn Beck Show of Monday, Sep 21, 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".
