Glenn Beck Program - Format

Format

Combining elements of the comedy-centric hot talk format and more traditional talk-radio shows like Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity, the Program consists of humor, political commentary, and personal reflections from the host.

The first half of each hour of the show is usually monologue by Beck, but occasionally will include a guest or some conversation with the production staff. During the second half of each hour, Beck takes callers and continues discussing the themes he has previously introduced.

In January 2010 Beck changed his show's theme music to a rock anthem with sampled voices overlayed. The music is performed by Anthony Newett, the vocals by Stephen Lyons and the lyrics written by Glenn Beck and Steve "Stu" Burguiere. Lyrics include the refrain, "We must remember who we are, we will be the key."

In January 2011 Beck changed the tune of the show's theme music again. The song is less sonorous than in 2010 but the keywords are basically the same, "We'll be the key, We will be the key."
