Dish Network replaced Fox News with Glenn Beck's The Blaze while negotiations continue.

Accidentally tuning in to Fox News is bad enough, but seeing The Blaze is a total shocker.

Since The Blaze is already available on Dish 212 it seems that channel gets double coverage now.

which has Comedy Central and Nickelodeon which have the Daily Show and the hit children's cartoon "Peppa Pig".

They got The Blaze in exchange. Its a permanent decision.

Why anyone would inflict Glenn Beck on themselves is beyond my comprehension.

... when I conjectured that right wingers would be able to still get their fill by going to the Blaze channel then. I had no idea that they would have the Blaze being aired on Fox News' channel then! Probably a coincidence, but I wonder!

I do know someone that works on the Blaze web site who I used to work with at an older channel.
