Audience Demand to Get TV Providers to Carry TheBlaze ‘Largest We’ve Seen’ in Decade, Marketing Chief Says

Feb. 27, 2013 9:00pm Madeleine Morgenstern

Audience demand for their TV providers to add TheBlaze TV to their channel lineup is at a tremendous level just a few days into the “Get TheBlaze” campaign, according to the marketing company overseeing the push.

TheBlaze audience has put in 105,565 minutes — about 1,700 hours — on the phone with their distributors since the grassroots campaign launched Monday. That’s the equivalent of viewing 491 Oscar telecasts. In the first days of the campaign, TheBlaze received more than 200,000 inquiries via email, a telephone hotline and its GetTheBlaze.com web site.

“The support for Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze has been the largest we’ve seen for a new network in 10 years,” K2 Marketing CEO Bill Faunce said in a statement. K2 Marketing logs the amount of phone time on 1-800-996-2529, which connects people with their TV providers.

TheBlaze TV is currently only available online or through satellite TV provider Dish Network, but “Get TheBlaze” is seeking to directly connect the audience with their distributors so they can ask that TheBlaze be added.

On Facebook, users have inundated DirecTV’s page with comments demanding TheBlaze. In just one day, DirecTV went from replying that it had “no plans to add” TheBlaze to having “every intention of evaluating” customer interest.

Darris Gringeri, vice president of public relations at DirecTV, did not immediately respond to a request for comment about their future plans to offer TheBlaze.

Dozens of users have similarly taken to Time Warner Cable’s and Comcast Xfinity’s Facebook pages requesting the network as well.

Maureen Huff, vice president of public relations at Time Warner Cable told TheBlaze adding it is not something they’re currently looking at, but they are “constantly evaluating new networks.”

Two representatives from Comcast did not immediately return requests for comment.

  The problem with DISH network is thery stopped carrying my third favorite network, AMC. I would never consider them just for that omission.

  DGBoy,
  
  Dish indeed carries AMC! I watch The Walking Dead every week. They did drop it for a while do to a contract issue. But, that has been settled and the channel is back! Of all the TV providers Dish is the best and the cheapest. I was a direct TV user for years but dumped them when money got tight. When my husband got laid of, Direct TV refused to negotiate lower rates with us. They decided our 10 plus years of loyalty wasn’t worth squat. So we left and now they constantly beg us to come back. We will never use Direct TV ever again.

  DGBoy,
  Dish does indeed carry AMC! They did drop if for a little while but that was due to a contract issue. It’s back and we watch it all the time.
  
  Direct TV is the company I will never use again. We dumped them after they spit on our 10 years of loyalty.

Until I can custom choose what channels I get and DON’T get I will not pay for cable. Roku will do for now. However, every time I go to Menards a friendly Direct T.V. salesman approaches me. I mostly don’t mind as they are not pushy, but I go there a lot lately and have to explain I don’t want cable a lot. The last time I went , I got an idea, I figured if they are going to take up some of my time to sell me their product, then I am going to get the most I can out of that time. I told the guy that we wouldn’t even consider it unless they had The Blaze. I don’t mind spending my time plugging The Blaze. Very satisfying!

  Great idea…..
  Spread the concept… Anytime you pass a Comcast “table” in WalMart (or similar), ask them if they carry TheBlaze…. Tell ‘em you’ll sign up when they do… and walk away….
  (even if you already have Comcast ….. oh… that would be lieing…. never mind….)

  My sentiments exactly. We also have Roku and will keep its service until providers offer true cafeteria-style channel picking. I’ve always disliked the fact you’re stuck paying a huge monthly fee for networks that some board has chosen for you. If cable/satellite providers still won’t carry The Blaze—even after this kind of demand outlined in the article—they are showing their true colors and agenda and it’s time for a mass exodus toward services like Roku.

I could not get through to Direct TV via the phone, so this is the letter I wrote to their CEO. I heard no response.
February 25, 2013
Michael D. White
Direct TV Group, CEO
1 Rockefeller Plaza, 6th Floor
New York, NY 10020
Direct TV Cable Packages
Dear Mr. White:
We have been your customer since June 2010 when we moved to Florida. Since that time your services costs increased from $68.32 to $123.39. I understand that we added the back-up service plan, but yesterday we saw your flyer where you advertise your Ultimate Bundle starting at $66.94. This is a big cost difference. While this cost increase may seem small to you, it is big to us because of our fixed income. Thus, we might have to prioritize our limited resources.

With that I see that you offer in your package the “al jazeera” network, which purchased Al Gore’s Current TV. We did not watch Current TV and will not watch the al jazeera network. However we do watch Glen Beck’s “The Blaze,” which we subscribe to and view through ROKU.

So my husband and I in reviewing our resources must make a choice between Direct TV and the Blaze. I prefer the Blaze and would pay for an antenna to get the local stations. However, if you were to add “The Blaze” to your Direct TV channels we would be inclined to keep your services, and drop our Blaze subscription.

Please consider adding The Blaze to you lists of programs.

Cordially,

  You know that by paying for cable or satellite TV you are supporting every channel that is carried by that provider right? Give it up for 1 month and I promise you won’t miss it. Not to mention the fact this article confirms the Glenn thing is becoming a cult following. Just imagine if all these people who called in would have instead spent that time in prayer and worshiping Jesus. Oh well just my opinion as one who’s eyes have been opened.

  Cable TV and Sat. are dying IMHO. I woke up recently and thought why am I paying 80$+ per month for TV from AT&T uverse for a bunch of channels that I honestly never watch. I dropped Uverse TV back to basic for now but when my contract is up I will drop basic TV as well. The only thing I need is the Internet. Picked up Netflix and Hulu which together cost me 15$ per month so with Netflix and Hulu and The Blaze my total is 24$ a month… far cry from 80$ per month with Uverse TV package. I am actually thinking about dropping Hulu because I don’t feel like the pay service gives me enough extra that the free service doesn’t. I may pickup Amazon Prime instead still either way you look at it I feel like TV over the internet is going to be the way of the future and that Cable and Sat are going to continue to lose market share big-time. Unless the “Cable” companies wake up and start offering a-la-carte packages I think the are going to lose big time.

  I have Mediacom, and I e-mailed them about The Blaze – no response. I’ll be moving soon & told them I’d go to Dish then if necessary. We get The Blaze thru Roku. How do you really use it to watch other shows? We see lots of stuff on it, but none of it looks very good. If I dropped cable, I’d lose HGTV – my favorite – as well as Fox News. Even Discovery isn’t as good as it used to be, and we refuse to watch the air networks with their mostly trashy shows. I’d love to have ala carte cable – can Glenn come up with that? Then he’d have LOTS of subscribers!

To Dish and Cable, Beck is toxic waste. Yes, they might stand to make millions from this venture. But, to have to bear the wrath of the democrats for the sake of a dollar…..I don’t see it happening, and if it does, it will be short lived. The libs will cry from the mountain tops and start campaigns for it’s removal.

  The only TOXIC WASTE comes from the lamestream media (NBC (Nothing But Communism), MSNBC (More S***from Nothing But Communism), CBS (Communist Broadcasting System), ABC (Always Broadcasting Communism), CNN (Communist News Network) and don”t forget the new Al Jeezra (We intend to force Islam and Shariah Law on the entire world at ANY cost).
  
  With the constant stream of leftist, liberal and communistically oriented blather coming out of Washington and delivered by the blind and compliant media giants, Americans need to be allowed to see an alternative news source. THE BLAZE represents such a source. THE BLAZE has already shown, time and time again, that its stories prove to be true. The majoritiy of predictions, not all, but the majority have actually come to fruitition.
  
  As a DirecTV customer, I am urging them to include THE BLAZE in their line up and if they don’t, well maybe it’s time to switch to Dish Network.

So the BlazeTV wants to move away from the capitalist model of getting paid by only those who want to receive their services to the socialist model of having every cable subscriber pay for their channel even if they don’t want it.

Sounds like money is more important than most anything else…

Truth is very hard to come by these days. Thank the good Lord we have someone telling the truth that we can trust! Every chance I get, I tell people to watch Blaze TV. Thank you Glenn Beck! You keep me sane. Otherwise I would have tuned out long ago.

Keep up the good work. I look forward to watching For the Record!

if you have a tablet that is telling you you need acrobat flahplayer to run, you can download flash installer from the play store, its not perfect but you can watch the blaze using it on tablet. BTW please call Dish Network and let them know to move the blaze from top 250 to top 200 channels, I asked the guy that answered the phone if they have been getting alot of calls to do this , he told my not today, so if you have DISH tell them that you want to request that the blaze be put on the TOP 200 channels, hopefully we can get them to put them on tv with out paying 5 dollars more. so that more people have the chance to see it as they cruise past the commie MSNBC stations.

  NO! Have Dish drop the Blaze down to the 120 basic level. It seems to me it was on the 120 list for awhile then suddenly it zoomed up to the 250. Maybe it was just to promo the program. Dish has the Commie CNN on the 120 so why not balance it with the Blaze or else move CNN to the 250. Fair is fair.
  
  The same thing happened to Fox Business Net. They kept saying “Demand It”, well heck, it too is on the 250 list. Those who have to stick with the 120 get most of the crap stations. YUK.

I love Glen Beck and I want to see him on regular TV as well, but I’m getting several emails a day telling me to call my provider. There is a story on here several times a day saying the same. Then they say it’s a “grassroots” movement. Wake-up folks, it’s certainly not that. If you can’t see that he’s using this site to get what he wants, then I don’t know what to tell you. It’s his right to do so, but save the “grassroots” garbage.

  @LOVENFL3 Bullying is done through intimidation, having a large group of people contact a company to request a service politely isn’t bullying. Now maybe you could classify boycotting a bullying tactic(i wouldn’t), but this is the opposite of that. It’s positive, it’s kind, it’s feedback. It’s sending a message that needs to be sent.

  But don’t you often add a link to your posts to get people to the Don Smith Show? You are piggybacking on the Blaze’s popularity to get more traffic to this (your?) site and you’ve been doing it for quite some time.
  
  I have observed that your standard technique is to make a series of brief comments on several different stories over a short period of time, and most carry the link to that show.
  
  I’m sure that nobody minds particularly, but it does make your criticism a little hollow.
  
  Did you think that nobody here would notice?

  Also, as a bit of well-meant constructive criticism, you need to get your mic a little closer to kill that slight echo. If that’s not possible try equalising a little of the top frequencies out, or if you can select frequencies on your equaliser, pull back a little in the 1000 – 1200 Hertz range. I was a TV sound engineer in a younger life :)

  @JTHmishmash All I’m really saying is don’t call this a “grassroots” movement. Grassroots is when you or I decide to do something and get others to join us. Glen getting people to do things is hardly grassroots. As for the capitalism comment, I already said he can do what he wants with his site. I would just prefer more honesty. Just say I want to make a whole bunch more money…..I’m cool with that! I think this is one of the problems we have in this country, we can’t even see things for what they are anymore.

  @nzkiwi It’s so nice to know that you’ve been “watching me for quite some time.” Aside from the creepiness of your comment, I share videos that I like. And yes, I like Don’s show. He has great guests every week, and I find his honesty quite refreshing. I already said I have no problem with the sharing of information, especially for Glen, this is his site. I’m just saying don’t pretend this thing just sprung up out of nowhere. But I’ll be sure and check with you in the future to find out what I can share on The Blaze. Thank you.

  @ LOVENFL3
  
  That was a deliberate misinterpretation (and misquotation) of my comment to give strength to your defensive rejoinder.
  
  You have been linking to the Don Smith Show for so long now that I’m sure most long-term readers of the Blaze have noticed, and again, I doubt that many people mind.
  
  You characterised an active and somewhat concerted push to get the Blaze to a wider audience, as well as making it more convenient to watch for current viewers, as “bullying” and not a grassroots action. A grassroots action is when the “grassroots” – us – take a cause to heart and push it on an individual level.
  
  So, not only do I think that you’re wrong, but as I pointed out, I think that you are being a little bit hipocritical.
  
  Also, if this action is successful, and I hope that it is, it will be to the advantage of everybody, and to the detriment of none.
  
  My advice regarding the sound quality on Don’s show was genuinely meant, and if you have any input into that show you might like to pass it on.
  
  You’re welcome.

  @nzkiwi “My defensive rejoinder,” that was good. First off, I was a bit “snarky” to you, and apologize for that. As for my linking to Don’s videos, can you tell me exactly what’s wrong with that? I share the videos because I like them and feel strongly about sharing the messages of other great conservative voices out there fighting the good fight.
  
  As for getting Glen on TV, I’m all for it! I miss his show on Fox News where it didn’t cost me anything to watch him there. I simply find it disingenuous that the guy who left cable to start his own venture is now asking that everyone call and pester their cable company in order to get him back on cable. I find it even more troubling that he does this at the same time he has his journalists writing stories calling it a “grassroots” movement.
  
  As for being hypocritical, maybe I am. I would contend however that I have nowhere near the power that Glen has to get people to carry out anything. If sharing a Don Smith video somehow forces you to watch it, then I stand corrected. As for “passing on” the advice about sound, get real. I’m sure I couldn’t give him advice anymore than you could. In fact, I wouldn’t even try. I was simply expressing a point of view; sorry it so offended you that you felt the need to “research” my activities on The Blaze.

I called DirecTV Wednesday. The person I spoke with had no idea what The Blaze was and gave me the old we don’t carry every channel because the program owner wants too much money.

Knowing of Comcast’s tight relationship with NBC, and NBC’s tight relationship with this White House, I don’t think I’d have a snowball’s chance, but I’ll call tomorrow anyhow.

  Yes the audience from this 3 year old venture is the most we’ve seen in a decade (ten years) interested in …. Reminds me of companies founded in 1999 that in 2001 said ‘our second century of service’ lame and misleading…way to go again blaze.

  I changed to DISH about 4 years ago from Comcast because Comcast was too pricey and we wanted the Speed Channel. Comcast offered us a bunch of sports channels that we did not want. We bundled with At&t. When the Blaze got on DISH I called and added the channel for the same amount we were paying for GBTV. With DISH you can add channels individually and they do not make you add a full line up. All I can say is everyone change to DISH, that will do the trick!

Wish them all of the luck in the world, but it won’t happen in my neck of the woods. Comcast is our only provider.

  Sorry about that RJJ.
  I have called and wrote Direct TV, this morning I got a “Im sorry, we don’t carry that channel, and we don’t have plans to pick it up” and this evening I explained that Current TV gets less than 50,000 viewers a night, and Blaze, on the internet, gets over 500,000, their anwer was, we are submitting this to our management and we will be looking into adding the channel.
  
  It’s amazing at what a few thousand phone calls can do, especially when they are getting more phone calls to add a channel, than viewers on a channel they already have.

  DARMOK, I’ve written them a good number of times and have yet to get any kind of response. Comcast is run by some uber libs as is, but considering they own the better part of NBC, I can’t conceive of them adding something like the Blaze that will blow BSNBC out of the water.

  I hear ya, I dropped commiecast years ago, they took over the cable system here, and in 2 years my bill for 1 box, free HBO, and a cable modem, went from $55 a month to $120 a month. I dropped them, went with quest and direct tv. and my bill is less than they were asking, and I get a heck of a lot more in value. Plus I love Direct TV, they have great customer service and have been great with upgrading my equipment and anytime I have a problem they get someone out pronto. The only drawback is the signal does get interrupted during thunderstorms.

  I wanted EWTN on comcast and they said there were not enough Catholics to offer it. I went to Dish.
