I gagged my way through Beck on Wednesday. I've listed the advertisers for that night:
This was on Wednesday the 19th. I have, where possible, given the link with the contact info to the company. I suspect that Comcast was a local advertiser and left out two other small ads that were obviously local to my location (Houston). PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG:

Oxygen therapy company Inogenone:
Contact: Sales / Information
1-800-630-3144

Wells Fargo Bank: <https://www.wellsfargo.com/help/>

Comcast:
<http://www.comcast.com/Corporate/Customers/contactus/ContactUs.html>

Oreck (vacuum cleaners): <http://www.oreck.com/customer-service/contact-us.cfm>
above is the address for email and telephone numbers

Jupiter Jack, device for using phone handsfree while driving: <http://www.jupiterjack.com/contactus.html>

Brez: a device to prevent snoring, contact link is below:
<http://www.brezbyairware.com/contact-us>

Scott trade, an online stock trading program.
<http://www.scottrade.com/contact_brokerage_house>

Egg Genie, a device to cook eggs

Egg Genie Customer Service
(203)567-1139
Mon - Fri: 8:30am - 8:00pm EST
(I suspect this is just a hired service for taking orders)

21. That is my friend, indeed what I did
But even watching his face pass "quickly" (quickly is never fast enough for Beck) during ff made me a bit nauseous

Not that I support their sponsorship, but come on. That gadget goes perfectly with viewing Beck.

23. Many bigger sponsors have dropped--I think that most of the current lists don't reflect the latest..
So I am trying to really get the ones who have still not responded.

It doesn't seem most of the lists in the last 24 years are current with the ones that have dropped.

9. You are one VERY STRONG person.
I refused to watch CNN back when he was on, just because he was on headline news.

There something wrong with that man.

11. Last week I used the DVD so I could FF past Beck
Some of these may also be local buys. Wells Fargo for example.


I am sure that you saw alot of Fox advertisements as well.

12. Wow his advertisers
are slowly starting to resemble the crap that comes on at about 3AM when we insomniacs are trying to catch up on Taxi and Who's the Boss.

I really really wanted an egg genie but now I can't because I have to boycott them. DAMN YOU EGG GENIE!

16. I recorded him last week with the intention
of fast-forwarding through the show to see what advertisers he had left. Couldn't do it and finally just deleted it.

You are a very brave soul.

What, no Extenze?

17. Smudge yourself with sage,
and next time do it with the mute button on, at least you can avert your eyes and not get slimed. There's got to be some timing to commercial breaks, what is it these days, 2 1/2 minutes, I don't know.

18. I bet most of those ads are "remaindered" time ads...
Advertisers who get a big discount in exchange for not being fussy when their ads get on, or how often they run. Their contract probably states something like "anytime between 8am and 11pm" or something. Some of the other advertisers who have backed out said that was how their buys were structured, too, but they added a provision that their ads NOT run on Beck's show.

Egg Genie? Anti-snore gadgets? Jupiter Jack? These are the bottom-of-the-barrel advertisers... next we'll be seeing spots for "Red Wigglers... the Cadillac of Worms"

19. Thanks, My letter to Wells Fargo



Wells Fargo
420 Montgomery Street
San Francisco, CA 94104

I just became a customer with the switch from Wachovia Securities. I am not pleased to find out that Wells Fargo purchased advertising time on 08/19/09 during the Glen Beck show on Fox Network. I do not wish to invest my money with a company that is supporting a racist, anti-American show. I hope to hear that you have joined with other major corporation in removing any connection you have with that program.

20. Add Carbonite to the list...

This online backup company has advertising connections with both Beck and Limpbaugh... NO liberal should be a customer of theirs.

I heard from the inside that Carbonite just got added to Glen Beck's web site advertisers...

Carbonite (online backup): http://candacesalima.blogspot.com/2007/12/carbonite-online-backup-wahoo.html

Go to his web site to get more online advertisers by browsing through it.

http://www.glenbeck.com/

A cursory look shows the following besides carbonite;

Goldline
GoToMyPC
newsfifty.com


Here's another list to look at from DKOS:
