EDIT:  I posted the wrong link to the story, but same story.  I'll try to find the link about the satellite junk dodging...

Seems like an okay deal which should put Comcast on the defensive...  I don't have any vested interest in any of the three at the moment.  Comcast has been trying to silence TheBlaze/Beck, allegedly.

Can you imagine an entire Beck channel mainstream?  His hour long show on Fox alone took down Van Jones, got people reading up on the founders, etc.; imagine a full channel or network.

It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. I have AT&T u-verse at out primary home and a local cable channel. However, at our place a little further up in the mountains I have Direct TV, but the telephone provider is a local company. How ill all this mesh?

Wait until you hear their charge for the Internet.

Trust me the working class will pay for it.  So the 47% freeloader get it at a discount or for free.

He has one called Blaze TV, I love it!
Costs $5.00 per month and well worth every penny. Makes FOX look like....well, the RINO supporters they are.

Beck is a genius.  He is running circles around the MSM, and is penetrating the digital market.  He is doing what Air America wishes they could have done.  I can't wait to see what his media company looks like in 5 years.
