Internet TV report ranks The Blaze as more popular than Sling TV

In a new report ranking the nation’s top over-the-top (i.e.: Internet-based) streaming video services, Douglas County’s Sling TV makes it to the No. 10 spot.
But just a bit more popular is The Blaze TV, the online channel of conservative radio and TV host Glenn Beck. It is ranked No. 9. (see the top 10 chart below) in a report by Parks Associates, a market research firm.

That shouldn’t be terribly surprising, said Brett Sappington, Parks’ director of research. Sling has been available only since February, while The Blaze TV launched in 2011. Beck launched the streaming service the same year he left Fox News Channel with a good fan following. Blaze charges $9.95 a month.
