Please add THE BLAZE TV!!!!

Please add The Blaze TV.  The American people deserve more than 1 conservative choice. We are very tired of being lied to on a daily basis from the liberal news choices that ATT ONLY PROVIDES.....beside FOX News.  I watch less and less TV  and go to the internet due to the lack of choices on ATT Uverse. I enjoy ATT Uverse but strongly encourage them to add the BLAZE TV as a choice.  I would gladly pay for it!!!

Except that Lara Logan of CBS News put out what was supposed to be an expose on Benghazi of which they later retracted, proof that CBS had an agenda to discredit the White House.  Plus the media has put out negative stories on Obamacare and the NSA on a daily basis.  So no they are not a lap dog for the government.

"The media" finally started doing their job.  Somewhat.  Where were they the previous 5 years?

Not before Al Jazeera America. Glenn Beck called them "The Voice Of The Enemy", to try to make us think that Al Jazeera is our enemy. It's not. It is however his enemy. He wanted to buy the former Current TV to give The Blaze cable carriage in the same way Al Jazeera did. Al Jazeera got the network. Glenn Beck didn't, and mad about it.

 

The Blaze's average programming:

The Glenn Beck Radio Program (TV simulcast of his radio show)

Pat & Stu (couple of guys talking)

The Glenn Beck Program (Basically what he used to do on Fox News Channel)

Real News (Basically what you see on Fox News during that time slot. Roundtable stuff.)

Wilkow (Political blabber)

Pursuit Of the Truth (Reality show)

Dana (self proclaimed "Punk rock Conservative")

Liberty Treehouse (Show for kids. Gotta get them while they're young)

Hot Shot (Reality show about guns)

3 Gun Nation (Reality show about guns)

Bee S Of A (Standup) **I had to edit this because the 2 letters together are prohibitied in these forums**

 

Seriously? If I want this stuff, I'll watch Fox News Channel or The Outdoor Channel. 

 

Al Jazeera America:

News (From New York, various anchors)

Al Jazeera English News (Global News from Doha and London)

America Tonight (News and insight)

The Stream (Interactive roundtable, usually on a subject. Takes viewer Skype calls, comments, etc. No political bickering)

Consider This (News, Interviews. No political bickering or bias)

Inside Story (News, Interviews. No political bickering or bias)

Live News at the top of the hour 24/7. News overnights, not just documentaries.

 

The documentaries on this network interesting documentaries about American people. 

 

Let's see, a news channel that gives news, without shouting at you and focusing almost entirely on politics, serious journalism and reporting, and my favorite just telling you what's going on without screaming or political bickering. It's a very good network. And there's no Anti-Americanism on this channel at all. 

 

Like I said, if they add The Blaze, they better add Al Jazeera America while they're at it. Some people do want to know what's going on without some partisian political bickering and other related stuff getting in the way. 

 

After watching the VHS tapes from my sister (She has Time Warner and has been recording VHS tapes of it for me) I can tell you its the only news channel I would ever watch except for the local newscasts on local TV.

I don't know exactly how business works but did anyone else notice that dish comes up on here when you troubleshoot. Seems to me that at&t and dish might be owned by the same company. Why can't we get the blaze?

1. What?

2. Dish & AT&T care NOT owned by the same company. AT&T and DirecTV have an agreement in place for DIstribuition for satelite TV and Wireless service.

3. You can't watch the Blaze on U-Verse because The Blaze does not have an agreement with AT&T to ait the channel.

4. Seriously what?

I will drop my uverse in day 1 that they decide to carry the Blaze and wait for Google fiber to come to my neighborhood. There is no reason to promote hate That is pushed by Beck and the rest of that channel. att had a chance at an unbiased network in al Jazeera but decided to back corporate media instead.

Seriously, if you want to watch The Blaze, pay Glenn $9.95 a month and watch it on the internet. You have that option. Not every network has an option like that. Actually its pretty rare.

"Blaze TV is carried exclusively on Dish."

 

That's not true.  The Blaze is now on at least 50 cable providers now.  Do your research, please, before making an assertion like that.

I would like to see The Blaze added too. I would not object to Al Jazeera.

 

I think that all points of view should be offered. Fox is the only conservative voice while the left or forward thinking stations ---whatever they are calling themselves have several outlets.

 

I have heard that Al Jazeera is not as bad as people say that it is.

 

Besides,I am adult. I know what I believe and am comfortable enough that propoganda from the other side will not sway my thinking.I watch all the availiable news outlets when I can.

 

According to the Blaze website,Glen Beck's website and other sources on the web The Blaze is on The Dish Network,Blue Ridge Communications,BEK Communications,Sweetwater Cable,Atwood Cable,Cablevision System Corp.Optimum Cablevison ,and Buckeye Cablevison.

 

I hope Uverse will add it. I have requested it on the Uverse survey page.

Within the past few weeks, The Blaze has picked up some carriage agreements.  The biggest one I saw was Buckeye television, a decent size regional provider.

Only 2 of the top ten providers carry the blaze. Only 5 of the top twenty. This would seem to indicate that the asking price is way to high.

I suppose, if you were really industrious, you could compare that list with the providers that carry The Hallmark Channel, which AT&T U-verse also doesn't carry and write a paper on which is more likely for AT&T to pick up next.
