TheBlaze and CRTV Merge to Create Conservative Media Powerhouse (Exclusive)
The Hollywood Reporter ^ | 8:00 PM PST 12/2/2018 b | Paul Bond

The homes of Glenn Beck and Mark Levin are combining to create Blaze Media, which insiders say will reach 165 million people via television, digital platforms and social media.

Glenn Beck and Mark Levin are teaming up by merging TheBlaze and CRTV to create a conservative-media entity dubbed Blaze Media, which they say will reach 165 million people via television, digital platforms and social media.

Beck and Levin are set to officially announce what they are calling a merger of equals on Monday, but Beck tells The Hollywood Reporter that the move could be just a next step at building a powerhouse, independent media company.

“This is the beginning of scale,” he says. “Anyone who loves the Bill of Rights and pursues honesty, I want them all in. We’re an open book. Let’s talk,” he says.

“Tens of millions of Americans have had it with the biased, ideologically driven mainstream media outlets that sanctimoniously advance their own agendas under the guise of ‘news’ and ‘journalism.’ Conservatives actually believe in a free press and the rest of the Constitution,” said Levin.

He added that his intention with the merger is “to further expand and offer the public an alternative to liberal media group-think.”

They only changed their tune and reverted to ersatz conservative form after President Trump won in a landslide

Levin converted after Trump won the nomination. But we still had to listen to an occasional outburst about how Trump was not conservative. When I voted for Trump I voted for him warts and all knowing he had conservative instincts despite a few policy positions I might disagree with.

Didn’t Beck and Levin both actively campaign against TRUMP?

I wouldn’t be surprised if $oros bailed Beck out, a few years ago and that’s what caused Beck’s “mental adjustment” and TDS.

Regardless, loony Beck is not to be trusted.

Or, conversely it’s like sewing two dead horses together financially, hoping to get Secretariat.

Beck blew through almost $68m in less than five years. An astonishing feat. His subscription to the Blaze, I’m told, was about 140,000 when he needed double that to break even.

I’ve been to his TX studios several times. I could see the overhead just burning money. He had two big-time sound stages (probably today not state of the art, but darn good). He used these, for the most part, to film himself in front of a blackboard or on a sofa talking with guests. That’s the equivalent of having a Boss 429 classic Mustang and using it to deliver papers.

I don’t know anything about Levin’s business, but I don’t see how this helps him.

Dammit Mark. Keep your ego out of it.

You can be among the best ever on radio. TV will never be your medium.

Hooking up with Beck is just a huge mistake. He is wack.

Beck is a wack job. He’s the cheeto face of The Blaze. Whoever thought of retaining the name are idiots.

Beck’s empire is crumbling, he wants to save at least part of it.

"Don’t tell me. Beck is the straight man."

It just might be the beginning of something good.

"“Tens of millions of Americans have had it with the biased, ideologically driven mainstream media outlets that sanctimoniously advance their own agendas under the guise of ‘news’ and ‘journalism.’ Conservatives actually believe in a free press and the rest of the Constitution,” said Levin."

I think F. Lee has his mind completely right now.
