Request for new channel

DISH has just added BlazeTV to their 250 tier. I would like to see AT&T add it to their 200 or 300 tier selections. We need added diversity of political opinion and news from which to choose.

Why won't ATT even respond to the requests for Blaze TV?

I'm not sure what Ance is. I'm guessing a typo of some sort.

 

BBC is an international channel and reports world news. Not sure how this could be considered liberal.

 

 

CBS is not a cable news channel. CBS is a broadcast television network. If you're wanting to lump them in as a liberal channel then you must add in FOX, not just Fox News, as a conservative channel.

 

 

CNN may have an overall liberal bias, but it's affiliates (HLN and CNNi) have different type of coverage and don't normally cover the US political atmosphere.  It should also be noted that Glenn Beck once worked for this "Liberal" network.

I have requested The Blaze and the Hallmark Channels already.  But Cablevision is the #5 cable company and has included The Blaze in their lineup,

 


Cablevision does NOT offer The Blaze on it's TV lineup.  The only provider that does so is Dish Network.

Unless something has changed, Glen Beck has an exclusive deal with Dish:

 

Sept. 12, 2012 — TheBlaze Inc. and DISH Network, LLC announced today that TheBlaze, Glenn Beck’s online 24-hour news, information and entertainment network will now be available on television starting, at launch, exclusively on DISH.

He's hurting for viewers, apparantly no one is watching his network.

I'm not sure if you can call 4 "so many other providers".

 

From the website:


TheBlaze TV is launching on four more cable operators...Blue Ridge Communications...BEK Communications, Sweetwater Cable Television and Atwood Cable.

Those four are heavy hitters, lol.  I would like to see more balance in news offerings: There is Fox and Blaze on one side and ABC News, CBS News, CNN, MSNBC and the rest, on the other.  The White House Press Seceratry's wife works for ABC News, if that tells you anything.

AT&T it is time to add

The Blaze
