Glenn Beck on his 104.1 KRBE years

When I posted about Glenn Beck moving back to Clear Channel Houston at 740 KTRH, I mentioned how he had formerly worked at 104.1 KRBE. Well now he tells David Barron what he thought of  working there:

While Beck espouses an affinity for what he views as the Texas mindset, he has unhappy memories of his stint in Houston at KRBE when it was known as Power 104. He worked morning drive at the station , doing the voiceover for a character he called “Clydie Clyde.”
“It was the worst time in my broadcasting career, and I wish people would stop bringing it up,” he said. “It’s the most embarrassing thing I ever did on radio. If I could make everybody forget about my time in Houston, it would be good.
“I was probably at my most arrogant. I thought I could do no wrong. It was tough to beat my arrogance and lack of intelligence and talent at the time. ‘I’m invincible. Look at me.’ It was garbage.” READ THE REST
