Starting at 5 p.m. Eastern time today, Becks channel, The Blaze, will be channel 212 in Dish Networks 14 million households. It will be included as part of a 250-channel package, or available as a premium channel, for $5 a month, to those who receive a more basic package.
In sheer dollar terms, the deal is big but not gigantic for Becks company. Dish will reportedly pay a small per-subscriber carriage fee, which likely means 5 cents to 10 cents per month per household. In its first year, then, the agreement will yield subscription revenues of less than $16 million. Thats not earth-shattering for a man whose multi-media empire was already closing in on revenues of $100 million even before he signed a new five-year, $100 million radio contract.

Thanks for the info.
Must look into getting Dish Network. This is a good move for Glenn. Gives more people access to his great shows.
You’re welcome. I don’t mind saying I’m a Glenn Beck fan. The guy is fearless in pursuing the truth as he sees it. No one else comes close IMHO. A little unconventional but what the hey.
I think Olbermann has a solid twitter following...so there’s that.
I got lucky. I'm already a customer but having the basic package means I'll have to pony up another $5 a month if I want to keep him after the two week freebie.
Thanks! Dish had no ads that I’ve seen promoting this.
Olbermann...Olbermann....now where have I heard that name before? Sports, right??? ;^)
I haven't seen any either. I found out about it via a phone call and an email from one of his online subscribers. I hope it works out for him AND Dish. After just a couple hours watching I'm convinced the additional $5 a month will be $$$'s well spent. JMHO of course...
If you get Dish you don’t get ‘Breaking Bad’ or Mad Men’
They dropped AMC.
:)
I prefer Comcast
I give DISH a D on service and reliability and On Demand features
a B on recording capabilities
my only issue with Comcast was my house is 400 yards off road and I needed really 2-3 separate lines from the road rather than branches from box in house...with 8 cable end points
had a lot of drop offs and whatnot
but before when I had it at another home without rural issues it was perfect
Cable just beats Satellite in my view overall by a wide margin except picture quality but it's not that noticeable unless you dwell on it
and I am missing Hell on Wheels and Breaking Bad and may lose Walking Dead too and my kids will be in open revolt
unless Dish and AMC come to terms
when my contract is up...soon...I'm going back to Cable
Heh. I actually can't think of a single "series" I watch, which I suspect is what those are, and rarely a movie. Fact is, I don't watch much teevee at all. Chaps my butt I've got ~100 channels and there aren't a handful worth watching. If I had one of the larger packages, I'd just have more channels I wouldn't watch.
Ok, FRiend. Just thought I’d throw that in. :)
Hey wardaddy. Overall I’ve been satisfied with Dish but I’m not a very demanding customer. The teevee is just not on that much and I may buy a PPV movie two or three times a year — maybe. I had DirecTV for about ten years before Dish got right on price and I switched. I don’t have access to cable either; the nearest cable service in this area is the nearest town of any consequence, about 15 miles away. Suits me though as long as I can get FoxNews, TWC, History, Discovery channels and catch a ball game now and then.
But you can get the "Hopper" record 6 channels at once and watch them in any room, and I thank 2000 hours record time, and you get Beck.
Those shows will show up on NetFlix or maybe just buy the DVD when they come out. I on the other hand still get them and Breaking Bad had a cliff hanger finale.
Roku gets Beck, but I have been longing for the "Hopper" with commercial skip. :)
Your on demand would depend on your broadband carrier right?
I watched the launch and it was vintage Beck. The amazing thing is the HIGH quality his production looks like in comparison to the basement and garage looking production on Current and Democracy Now! and RT which are all funded by huge Liberals.
I think Beck is gonna give Fox huge problems in the numbers game because Beck has a news division as well that goes up some monster Fox programming.
The good thing about Blaze - TV is it is lined up with all of the major news networks and not lumped out on channel 493 buried.

I hope you’re right about Beck cuttin in to Fox’s programming. I, for one, have Dish, and have been looking for something to watch other than Fox. They have grown stale to me.
Now, I’ll watch Beck. :)
