Judge Nap to replace Glenn Beck?

Let's hope so:

Glenn Beck fans and foes, take note: For those wondering if Fox News -- which is “contemplating life without Beck” -- can survive, last week was a good indicator that it can.

Beck, whose contract is up in December, was on vacation -- with Judge Andrew Napolitano filling in on Beck’s 5 p.m. show Monday through Thursday...And the jury is in on the Judge: Napolitano held his own, maintaining roughly the same audience that Beck has drawn in 2011 -- and, like Beck usually does, beat CNN, MSNBC, HLN and CNBC combined in total viewers....

[It's a good] sign for Napolitano, who ought to be considered on the short-list to replace Beck, should Fox not renew Beck’s contract.

This would be a great improvement and could greatly expand the exposure the liberty movement gets on television:  Judge Napolitano has been a professor of constitutional law and is far better on issues of foreign policy and civil liberties than Beck has ever dreamed of being.

This is not the first time I've heard FOX wanting to get rid of Glenn Beck.  I want to know where people heard these notions?  

I also find it extremely hard to believe that FOX would get rid of Glenn Beck given his notoriety and popularity (you may not like him but you sure as hell know who he is).  I would say he has become one of the most well-known right-wing pundits in recent years.  No longer does the left groan and moan about Hannity or O'Reilly, instead they hate Glenn Beck.

I would love to see the Judge take over Beck's slot with all that said.  I just do not see it happening.
