Beck leaving CNN Headline News for Fox News

NEW YORK (AP) _ Conservative commentator Glenn Beck is leaving CNN Headline News for Fox News Channel, where he will host a weekday show at 5 p.m. starting next spring.

Beck's departure is a blow for CNN Headline News, where he was the second most-watched show behind Nancy Grace's talk show.

But Beck sensed growth opportunities at Fox, which appeals more to a conservative audience and has many more viewers than CNN Headline News. Although he's not in prime time, he gives Fox a bench in case there are any changes to that lineup.
