Glenn Beck signed off as a presenter on the Fox News Channel by thanking his team, his viewers and gave an insight into what he plans for the future.

Beck, who ad-libbed much of his last hour as an FNC host, spoke candidly about the decision to launch a web-based TV channel, saying he hoped he had earned viewers’ trust on “The Glenn Beck Show.” “Anyone watching this show knows that I have bent this format so far out of its structure, out of its parameters,” Beck said. “This is a news channel. I do commentary.”

“This show has become a movement,” he said. “It’s not a TV show. And that’s why it doesn’t belong on television. It belongs in your homes, it belongs in your neighborhoods.”

Beck denied that his departure from Fox News was due in part to a ratings decline, and re-iterated that his show has broken records in its 5pm ET slot.  He also said that he has left on good terms with FNC chairman Roger Ailes.

As Beck's final hour progressed, parts of his set were removed, leaving very little of his set left in his final segment where the window blinds were lifted, essentially leaving the set as he "found it", an empty shell.
