NEW YORK (AP) — Glenn Beck is leaving his Fox News Channel show later this year.

The network and Beck's company, Mercury Radio Arts, announced the departure on Wednesday. Fox and the company said they will work together to create other projects for Fox News television and digital.

Beck became a sensation almost immediately after jumping from HLN to Fox for an afternoon program. Lately his viewership has declined. He had faced an advertiser boycott that limited the amount of companies that wanted to be a part of his show after saying President Barack Obama had a "deep-seated hatred for white people."

Beck said that he "cannot repay (Fox News chief) Roger (Ailes) for the lessons I've learned and will continue to learn from him and I look forward to starting this new phase of our partnership."

    That's a shame. One of the funniest shows on TV. He reminds me of Orson Welles doing The War of the Worlds. Great sense of timing.

    Beck has dropped a bombshell - he's leaving his popular Fox News show before the close of 2011. The move seems to be linked to the upcoming termination of Beck's Television contract in Dec.. Beck reportedly will work with Fox News to produce “variety of TV projects,” also as content for Fox News' digital properties. Here is the proof: Glenn Beck leaving Fox News show later this year
