Glenn Beck is a leading American media personality, political commentator, author, and co-founder of Blaze Media, a multiplatform news and entertainment network available on television, radio, and the internet.

Beck’s wit, candor, and commanding on-air presence have earned him the loyal support of a large, enthusiastic audience, as well as top ratings on network television and talk radio. He is a leading voice for conservatism and is a staunch defender of the Constitution, traditional values, individual liberties, and free markets. Glenn was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2020.

Beck got his start in radio as a Top 40 DJ. In 2001, after a series of life-changing events, he changed course to pursue a career in talk radio. In January 2002, Premiere Networks launched his show into national syndication. Today, The Glenn Beck Program is one of the highest-rated talk radio shows in the country. His great success in radio opened the door to opportunities in television as well. He has hosted a daily television show for more than 15 years, most notably on Fox News from 2008 to 2011, drawing an audience of about two million per night. In 2009, his 5pm show became the first in the network’s history to score higher ratings than the network’s primetime programming.

Beck’s gift for storytelling, together with his informed and unique insights on current affairs, has allowed him to achieve great success as an author. He is a thirteen-time #1 bestselling author and one of the few in history to have had #1 national bestsellers in the fiction, non-fiction, self-help and children’s picture book genres. His latest book is a young-adult novel entitled, “Chasing Embers,” which is a New York Times Best Seller. Beck is also the publisher of Mercury Ink, a publishing imprint of Mercury Radio Arts, his multimedia production company.

Beck’s connection with his audience is singular in today’s media landscape. He takes great pleasure in every opportunity to meet and interact with his fans. His desire to spend more time with his audience inspired him to move into the live events space. To date, Glenn has sold out venues from Dallas to Jerusalem. Most notable was Restoring Honor, which took place on Washington DC’s National Mall in 2012 and drew a crowd estimated anywhere from 300,000 to as high as 500,000 people, depending on the source.

In 2011, Beck founded Mercury One, a nonprofit organization that reflects his belief in the individual, self-determination, free enterprise and the essential need for faith. Over a decade later, Mercury One embodies those beliefs by providing disaster relief, offering education programs through The American Journey Experience and leading the charge of humanitarian initiatives, including efforts to fight human trafficking and protect persecuted religious minorities all over the globe.
