BAD NEWS FOR GLENN BECK?

Beck has urged his audience to call their cable providers and demand that The Blaze TV be added to the standard subscription.  So far, he hasn't succeeded but the Washington Times has been more successful:

Herring Broadcasting, owner of the Wealth TV network, and The Washington Times announced Thursday that they have joined in a strategic partnership to create a new national cable news network called One America News, set to debut nationwide this summer.

“One America News Network will provide Americans a new, credible source for national and international news and investigative reporting as well as talk shows designed to foster an independent, cutting-edge debate about the policies, issues and solutions facing the country,” said Robert Herring Sr., CEO of Herring Broadcasting, founded in 2004 and based in San Diego.

The intent is to provide credible news and thoughtful analysis for “viewers with self-described independent, conservative and libertarian values,” Mr. Herring said. “Fox News has done a great job serving the center-right and independent audiences. But those who consider themselves liberal have a half dozen or more choices on TV each day from which to get their news,” he said.
I don't think FAUX News is at all "center-right" but that description does indicate that the new channel will be going after pretty much the same audience as Beck is.
