Continuing on an upward trajectory, Wednesday marks the
one-year anniversary of TheBlazeTV– formerly GBTV — with a significant
expansion into the world of satellite television. Partnering with DISH Network,
Glenn Beck’s online 24-hour news, information and entertainment network will
now be available on television exclusively on DISH, joining a host of channels
including MSNBC, BBC America, CNN, Current, Comedy Central and FOX News.
After launching exactly one year ago, TheBlazeTV rapidly
grew into one of the world’s most subscribed-to online streaming networks.
TheBlazeTV will be available to DISH viewers on channel 212 as part of DISH’s
America’s Top 250 package or a la carte for $5 a month. The channel launches on
Wednesday, September 12, at 5 p.m. EDT.
TheBlaze and its host of established and emerging talent
including Andrew Wilkow, S.E. Cupp, Buck Sexton and Will Cain, will offer its
programming as a free preview for all DISH customers through Sept. 26.
Of course, TheBlazeTV will continue to be available online
at TheBlaze.com, where on-demand programs can be accessed with the click of a
mouse.
“After being phenomenally successful with his online
streaming network, we’re pleased to host Glenn Beck’s return to broadcast TV,
especially during this exciting and important political season,” said DISH CEO
and President Joseph Clayton in an official press release. “With Glenn’s
return, DISH is truly the one stop for news, opinion and perspective across the
full political spectrum.”
Excited for the future, Beck added, “TheBlaze has helped
revolutionize television over the Internet and now we are excited to bring the
revolution back to traditional television.”
