Glenn Beck gets a berth on Dish Network

Glenn Beck, who exited Fox News a year ago June, is returning to TV via the Dish Network, in a deal announced this morning via his company, GBTV, now just called "TheBlaze," launches today.

Chris Balfe, chief of TheBlaze, had this to say in the announcement — and as a preface, you'll recall that Beck took his show or elements thereof and launched them on a pay-for-play website a year ago:

Dish has yet to announce anything although a news conference is scheduled for tomorrow, while the invitation is headed: "The War of the Words."

Beck of course had phenomenal success on FNC, followed by almost-nearly-as-phenomenal collapse, as the show morphed into an egg-heady seminar/power point presentation on Beck's wide-ranging views on history, America, Jeffersonian democracy, terrorism, and a very, very dim view of the country's future — if it continued to take the current path, or paths. And while certainly — avowedly — conservative, his show didn't really have nice things to say about either major party.
