Glenn Beck's "The American Story" to Air as Fourth of July Special
LOS ANGELES, June 8, 2026 – In celebration of America’s 250th birthday, “The American Story” hosted by Premiere Networks–syndicated personality Glenn Beck - a cinematic-style journey through the chaos, courage, and unlikely twists that built the United States - is available as a three-hour Fourth of July special for Talk radio stations.
From shipwrecks, spiritual firestorms, and wilderness wars to political showdowns, rebellions, and near-collapses, this special uncovers the human drama behind America’s earliest, most pivotal moments. Listeners will meet settlers fighting to survive, preachers sparking mass revival, revolutionaries defying an empire, and founders struggling to invent a functioning nation.
Originally produced as a 10-part series for Beck’s Torch platform, this special pulls the audience into high-stakes scenes – battles, backroom debates, fragile alliances, and world-shaping gambles – revealing how a string of improbable events turned a divided land into a powerhouse of liberty. Vivid and fast-paced, this series brings America’s past roaring to life. Listen to a clip HERE.
The special will air on more than 350 affiliates of The Glenn Beck Weekend Program during the holiday weekend. It’s also available to Talk stations in non-competing markets as early as Friday, July 3, and may be aired multiple times throughout the holiday weekend.
Stations can contact affiliates@premierenetworks.com to check availability and sign up for the special.
