The Blaze Times
History
On August 31, 2010, just three days after hosting the Restoring Honor rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., conservative political commentator Glenn Beck launched TheBlaze website. Positioned as an alternative media outlet to counter "mainstream media,"[1] TheBlaze established its headquarters in Irving, Texas, situated at the Mercury Studios, formerly known as the Studios at Las Colinas.[2][3]
Following Beck's departure from Fox News on June 7, 2011, he announced the creation of an online-only network to replace Insider Extreme. Subsequently, on September 12, 2011, Beck launched GBTV (Glenn Beck TV), an exclusive internet streaming network produced and operated by Mercury Radio Arts. GBTV featured a television adaptation of Beck's radio show, the television show, and original programming, including Real News from TheBlaze, a nightly news program hosted by former CNN personality Amy Holmes.[4] On June 18, 2012, Mercury Radio Arts consolidated its outlets under "TheBlaze" brand, resulting in the rebranding of GBTV to TheBlaze.[5]
In 2012, TheBlaze expanded its reach by being added to Dish Network's channel lineup. The "Get TheBlaze" campaign, urging supporters to call cable or satellite providers, led to several smaller regional operators, including Cablevision in the New York metropolitan area, picking up TheBlaze.[6][7]
On December 9, 2014, Betsy Morgan assumed the role of CEO at TheBlaze, succeeding Chris Balfe. Morgan’s tenure concluded in June 2015.[8] Kraig Kitchin, Chief Revenue Officer, took over until his resignation in January 2016. Stewart Padveen, a digital startup entrepreneur, replaced Kitchin, resigning in February 2017. Beck assumed the role of CEO in May 2017.
Magazine
TheBlaze (formerly titled Fusion until September 2012) was a monthly news magazine published by Mercury Radio Arts and TheBlaze in New York City, with distribution across the United States. The original name, Fusion, derived from Beck's talk radio program's slogan, "The Fusion of Entertainment and Enlightenment." The editor-in-chief was Scott Baker.[9] The magazine spanned sixteen pages and was a monthly publication, excluding February and August. It was accessible in both digital and print formats.[10] The final edition of TheBlaze magazine was released in April 2015.
