Alpro Soya Removes All Advertisements From Fox News
Jan 11th
Alpro Soya advises that they will not only be dropping Glenn Beck, but pulling all their advertisements from the Fox News channel. Their ads had been appearing on Glenn Beck’s show airing in the United Kingdom.
This brings the total number of dropped sponsors to 98.
Alpro Soya’s statement:
Thank you for your email.
We have spoken to our media buying agency who place all of our advertising and they are aware of the situation. In fact they are in the process of pulling all advertising out of this TV channel and that includes the Alpro soya advert.
I hope this reassures you of our best intentions and hope that your confidence in Alpro soya is now fully restored. Thank you for taking the time to bring this issue to our attention.
Kindest Regards
Kimberley Scholes

Big thanks to the Stop Beck – UK Effort and everyone else participating in this cause. Great work all!

ING DIRECT Will No Longer Advertise On Or Around Glenn Beck’s show
Jan 7th
Advertisements for ING DIRECT have been running during Glenn Beck’s show in the UK. On December 16, 2009, I contacted ING DIRECT regarding their sponsorship of Glenn Beck’s vitriol and race-baiting. Since then, we’ve been applying pressure on Twitter.
This morning, ING DIRECT advised that their ads will no longer appear “in or around” Glenn Beck’s show.
This brings the total number of dropped sponsors to 96. Many thanks all for your efforts!
Statements:
Martin Rutland, head of corporate communications for ING DIRECT, offered this statement:
“ING Direct UK has confirmed they do not sponsor or endorse the Glenn Beck show. Additionally, no ING Direct advertisements are being screened during or either side of this show and there are no plans to do so in the future.”
