Head of Glenn Becks Media Empire Quits As The Blaze Burns Down
Daily Beast ^ | 1/30/16 | LLoyd Grove

Posted on 01/30/2016 2:02:27 PM PST by DeathBeforeDishonor1

Kraig Kitchin will stay with the company, but resigned from the top job after friction with fellow Beck executive Jonathan Schreiber. A ‘mass exodus’ of staff may follow. In what knowledgeable observers say is a sign of increasing turmoil in Glenn Beck’s troubled media empire, Beck’s longtime mentor and corporate executive, Kraig Kitchin, has quit as CEO of The Blaze. Kitchin’s replacement, Stewart Padveen, a digital startup entrepreneur who joined Beck’s company last summer, will be the fourth leader of The Blaze since late 2014. Kitchin, 54, who took over operations of Beck’s conservative-leaning subscription digital and cable television enterprise last June—after two previous CEOs abruptly left in the space of six months—is resigning along with two other senior executives: Jeremy Price, director of advertising sales, and Liz Julis, director of marketing. Both are based in New York, 1,500 miles removed from corporate headquarters in the Dallas suburb of Irving, Texas. Several other key employees, including at least two senior producers based in The Blaze’s shrinking New York operation, are expected to follow them out the door.

I stopped going to The Blaze because it has so many ads, making it very slow loading. Also, Glenn Beck has become really unhinged over the last few years.

Kraig Kitchin was Art Bell's C2CAM boss at one point when it rolled up under Corporate Crap some how.

I gave up on C2CAM years ago, so I haven't followed it, or its ownership.

Burn, Baby Burn. Glenn needs to downsize for a while. His best moment was a couple years ago. Reinvent yourself Glenn. Maybe start building low and middle class level housing. Or old folks homes. Not every rich man is destined to become a Kingmaker.

I noticed Beck on Fox with der Megyn. I wonder if he is paving the way for a advisory role on Fox?

Her seems to be on her show often, and for long segments or more than one segment.

If his tirades are anything like this over the radio waves I’m not surprised those working there are jumping ship.

“I even thought of using it for my ringtone.”

Turn the ring tone volume up loud and watch the incoming stares the next time it rings!

So Freepers are now taking the word of the Left Leaning DAILEY BEAST. What has become of the Freepers I used to know?

In July 2015 "Kraig Kitchin is currently serving as interim C.E.O. at the company, and a replacement has not yet been named."

Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze downsizes in New York

It looks like now is the time Kraig Kitchen decided he could no longer hold that position.
