Glenn Beck's TV Station Set to Go Off the Air
In a move that, frankly, kinda sucks from the never-too-much-to-write-about perspective, conservative yakker Glenn Beck's Irving-based TV station is shutting down, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The Blaze — as Beck's media and TV empire is known — went on the air in 2012, two years after The Blaze's web launch.
The media firm behind The Blaze, Blaze Media, will continue to offer its paid video-on-demand service and podcasts. Beck's radio show will remain on the air, as well.
"Yes, we've sent notices of non-renewal to our cable partners, whose support we've appreciated over the years," Blaze Media CEO Tyler Cardon told The Hollywood Reporter. "Given our record growth this year on our direct-to-consumer SVOD business, podcasts, various web properties and other digital distribution channels, it has become a conflict to continue programming a traditional, legacy cable channel."
Beck set up shop at Mercury Studios, the entertainment complex formerly know as the Studios at Las Colinas, shortly after his August 2010 "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial.
