Glenn Beck Returns To TV On Blaze

Published September 13, 2012 at 4:00 AM EDT

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

There is no shortage of opinions about this week's violence in the Arab world. One of television's better-known program hosts won wider distribution, just in time to comment. Glenn Beck came to nationwide prominence on Fox News a few years ago for his attacks on President Obama. He later left the network amid low ratings and a boycott by advertisers. And he moved on to an Internet-based conservative network called TheBlaze TV.

Last night, Glenn Beck landed back on old-fashioned TV through a deal with the satellite operator Dish Network.
