TheBlaze, Glenn Beck’s news, information and entertainment network, announced today the exciting expansion of TheBlaze Radio Network to 13 hours of live programming with the addition of Doc Thompson’s new show during morning drive.

The Morning Blaze with Doc Thompson, which will debut on January 21st, will be a mix of topical stories and politics tackled with passion, fun and entertainment and will cover everything from day-to-day life to personal freedom and responsibility. Thompson brings years of radio experience to the network, including hosting shows in major markets like Detroit and serving as a regular guest host of the Glenn Beck Radio Program since 2008.

Thompson said: "I'm incredibly honored to be part of TheBlaze. This is an amazing opportunity for me everyday to express the principles of the Constitution, fight for Freedom and spend Glenn's money. I'm ready to host a national radio show but trust me, the elected elitists in DC are not ready for me!"

Dom Theodore, Program Director at TheBlaze Radio Network said: "Doc Thompson has an amazing track record of success at some of America's biggest talk stations, in addition to his manyyears of guest hosting for Glenn Beck. His humorous style and unique approach makes him the perfect choice for mornings on The Blaze Radio Network."

Chris Peterson also joins TheBlaze Radio Network as Assistant Program Director after over five years at Premiere Radio Networks, most recently as Director of Affiliate Relations. As Assistant Program Director, Peterson will work with Theodore on traditional and digital marketing and management of TheBlaze Radio Network.
