Newsmax ?

[caryc]

Anybody else here watch Newsmax? It's my favorite news channel. It is very Republican.

Direct TV canceled Newsmax from their channel lineup last night. The only real republican news channel and they canceled it. Out of all the news channels, they chose Newsmax to get rid of. Anyone else PO'd over this?

The contract expired.
Newsmax and Direct TV didn't work out a new contract.

According to Bloomberg.

Yet, Newsmax says they didn't charge any more for their services than the other news channels did. There are plenty of other news channels that don't rate anywhere near the viewership that Newsmax got.
This site will tell the story.

Yeah the 4th highest rated cable news outlet, and this comes from Nielson not Newsmax.
The only reason they were canceled-political BS. Just like they did to OAN.

That link gives incorrect information, by claiming News max was cancelled.
Contracts end and channels are dropped , Frontier who I use , has dropped channels over the years because they couldn't reach a mutually agreeable contract.

Canceled? Contract not renewed? What the heck is the difference? Newsmax was not asking for anything more than the other news channels.

Come on...you know what's going on here. You just don't want to admit it.

Just another deplatforming of a conservative news outlet.

I watch it online, newsmaxtv.com

I'm not going to sit in front of a computer monitor to watch it. I have a TCL Roku TV so I can still get Newsmax on that. It's just a little more trouble to go to Newsmax than it is to just click on the Newsmax channel on the direct tv menu. I usually like to switch back and forth on channels to see what else is on. That's just too much trouble to do now.

If you stream TV, I think you can get Newsmax on the Pluto app.

Pluto is free via Roku.

Their on Rumble also. Gave up Direct TV about 10 years ago, but still have the dish on the roof. Only one salesman has ever noticed that it had no wires running to it. All the rest of the salesman, I would just point and they leave me alone.

 

[Gator89]

Pluto does have Newsmax among its offerings.

Please let's not play games when you know the difference .
AT&T owns part of DirectTV and isn't a pro 2 amendment company.
Why feed the enemy by sending them money ?

You quoted yourself in post 7.
Which makes me wonder who so many here use quote and not just reply thats at the bottom of the page but, thats a different topic for a different day.
We’re all getting older.

Hell, I didn’t even know Newsmax was a tv show. Thought it was just an on line thingy like Breitbart or others.

Newsmax started out swearing it was neutral and only used no name anchors. I’ll agree that neutral looks conservative. (That may just be clue how far the left has gone) but now I see name anchors:reporters and many are canned lefties.

Is it still all they promised?

OK, now I see it. Obviously, I meant to edit not quote.

Maybe you should watch a few episodes of Newsmax and see what it is. That is unless you're a democrat.

If one has a smart TV you can get Newsmax or any other online streaming channel as the TV's have their own wi-fi or if you have an up to date computer with an HDMI, one can hook up a cable to the TV and watch anything you get on your putor, on your TV. Isn't science wonderful? Don't get the so called expensive 'gold' HDMI cable as the cheap ones work the same.

It’s not on my cable service here, never has been that I know of.
All I’ve heard about it is when somebody posts a link here to an internet story.

99% of my TV watching has me on Motor Trend, Animal Planet, BBC America, History, Discovery, AMC, UP, TV Land and some Sportsman Channel.
