TheBlaze and CRTV Merge to Create Conservative Media Powerhouse (Exclusive)
The Hollywood Reporter ^ | 8:00 PM PST 12/2/2018 b | Paul Bond

The homes of Glenn Beck and Mark Levin are combining to create Blaze Media, which insiders say will reach 165 million people via television, digital platforms and social media.

Glenn Beck and Mark Levin are teaming up by merging TheBlaze and CRTV to create a conservative-media entity dubbed Blaze Media, which they say will reach 165 million people via television, digital platforms and social media.

Beck and Levin are set to officially announce what they are calling a merger of equals on Monday, but Beck tells The Hollywood Reporter that the move could be just a next step at building a powerhouse, independent media company.

“This is the beginning of scale,” he says. “Anyone who loves the Bill of Rights and pursues honesty, I want them all in. We’re an open book. Let’s talk,” he says.

“Tens of millions of Americans have had it with the biased, ideologically driven mainstream media outlets that sanctimoniously advance their own agendas under the guise of ‘news’ and ‘journalism.’ Conservatives actually believe in a free press and the rest of the Constitution,” said Levin.

He added that his intention with the merger is “to further expand and offer the public an alternative to liberal media group-think.”

Isn’t CRTV the one you pay to watch? There are so many other free, intelligent,conservative commentators on YouTube that it’s ridiculous to pay for it.

> No idea why Mark Levin would tie his success to that complete loon, Glen Beck.

It makes sense to me. Both of them are controlled opposition - they’ll say all the right things up to the moment of truth when the betrayals and daggers come out for us.

Insanity. Anything linked to Beck is inherently crazy.

Someone is desperate.

Social(ist) Media will be sure to get right on disseminating their product. /sarc

Hopefully, they will try to reach out through Gab, but given the rampant anti-Semitism on that forum, I’m not sure that Levin will want to do that.

Oh goodie. Now there will be more “conservatives” to hand out soccer balls and teddy bears to the illegal aliens invading our country.

What was the judgement about, and if Levin is not paying, then why is he appealing it?

Levin I forgive unless he goes Goldberg again

I still don't trust Levin as much as I did before he went and lost his mind back during that time as well. As for as Beck, I'm through with him period.

Agree!!

These former arch-enemies had one thing in common - they were both NeverTrumpers.

Levin had somewhat redeemed himself, of late. And, now he joins forces with Cheeto-Soccerball Man??

And, CSM gets to keep his company name in merged company??

Levin needs to read Art of the Deal.

I agree with others...now I am specially glad I never subscribed to CRTV.

Is this new powerhouse of media going to run twice as many gold ads now?

That interview was on Levin’s Fox News show, not CRTV.

No need to subscribe.

I won’t give anything Glenn Beck related 1¢.

Is it April Fools already? Why would Levin even bother with the defunct TheBlaze at all, when CRTV is thriving?

This. So much this.

Beck is mentally unbalanced and has been for some time. A string of bankruptcies, employee layoffs, and litigation follows him wherever he goes.

Maybe the next step is to buy Beck out.

Then use this as the basis to launch a new conservative social media platform to compete with Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
