Rebecca, I believe Best Buy was listed on the Magic Jack commercials and requested that their name be removed from the ads, or those ads not aired. The same may be true of Radio Shack too…

Also, Walmart is pulling ads from all cable news shows. Here’s their reply to my inquiry. Looks like they won’t be advertising on MSNBC or CNN either.
Here’s the email they sent me today…
Dear Customer,

Thank you for your inquiry. We continuously review our media plans. In
keeping with our internal guidelines to avoid content that is highly
polarizing, we’ve instructed our agencies, as of August 3rd, not to run
Walmart advertising in news commentary shows on national cable networks.
This would include the Glenn Beck Show.

Thank you,
Walmart Customer Care

I talked to the corporate consumer relations at Best Buy today. They report that there are rumors floating around that they pulled their advertising from Beck’s program. They deny that there is any truth to the rumor. I was told that they couldn’t pull it because they have never advertised during his program in the first place. Are you trying to make this “boycott” seem bigger than it is? Don’t believe me? Check the facts for yourself.
