I recently called a DirecTV rep about it. He said they are interested in getting that channel, but Glenn Beck wants too much money. Beck should wise up and ask for less so he can get even more viewers. I hope he does for frankly I'm tired of paying extra for that channel on my Roku 3 and would prefer it to be in my line-up!
Apparently, TheBlaze TV is asking for too much money to be on DirecTV...

I would take whatever a CSR says with a grain of salt, most work from call centers around the US, many also work from home. They have no connection whatsoever to the people who work on the programming contracts. Because of this they will tell you whatever to get you off the phone with them. They actually have no clue about ongoing negations with programmers.
If you read my post, I already do on my Roku 3. I just don't like having to pay extra and I would like it in my lineup.
Man.... I don't even get DogTV with my package and I have an HSP Account!!sure there is. They could do it alacarte like DogTV
Then again.. I also don't have a dog.
It is because it costs $5 for Dish Customers. It is considered an "al-a-carte" channel in their lineup. http://www.dish.com/entertainment/channels/#a-la-carte

Yea... my lizards wouldnt like a dog so much... my wife on the other hand... yea... maybe she'd let me add DogTV lol.. then my 6yo would end up watching it..
Yes it is. But they are wrapping the cost of Blaze, into the price of the package.
According to their package matrix, TheBlaze is part of all current DISH packages.
Perhaps it is offered truly a la carte for those who don't have a base package.
I suspect the real issue is that DIRECTV is so potbound on bandwidth that they must be very, very selective about adding any new content. I sure hope the SL3 solved more problems that it created.
Some days I think you need a college degree to understand their package matrix.
They should get rid of the AT250 package... and just offer 3 standard English packages...
Starter - $29.99 a month package
The Goods - $69.99 a month package
The Works - $99.99 all English Channels and HD channels excluding Premiums.
As far as DIRECTV goes, don't forget they are in the middle of a merger, they are no likely to spend new money or enter into new contracts until after the merger is complete. They are in a holding pattern now and the only reason the new Satellite is going up is because it was ordered long before the merger was announced.
