$50 per year.
$5 per year.
Rob Schmitt is really great and so are Carl Higbie and Chris Salcedo. I hate paying more for anything, but if I have to, I have to.
I watched RAV for a long time, but it morphed into a giant infomercial. I was watching for news, but their “news” folks spent half their time with banter/opinions, and the other half selling products/services -— especially during the American Sunrise hours. Finally went channel surfing and found Newsmax. Would hate to lose them, but . . .
Also Greg Kelly; his personality is amazing.
You could try Real America’s Voice channel.
They have free live streaming video at www.americasvoice.news
They also are on Dish Network at channel 219.
“but their “news” folks spent half their time with banter/opinions, and the other half selling products/services”
Noticed that to. Bummer.
Just send the money to the Ukraine—and Israel.
War, war, war.....
Gotta have war.....

I honestly kept cable because I knew the free ride was only temporary. They were not going to put up with just internet fees. Soon internet will cost as much as having cable and internet. Nothing is free. All those pulling the cord I knew would bite them eventually.
Same reason the 1/3 pound burger at a&w flopped.
People thought a 1/4 pound was more.
Oh, so they are joining the cable cabal to try to force everyone into a paid subscription service.
It only exists because consumers consented to this. If they refused to go along with this, it would all still be on free over the air channels. Many local sports games were not that long ago carried on local TV station affiliates almost entirely. Then they put them on cable stations. The SEC Network is one such example. It was a network that used to have local affiliates carrying the games. Now you can’t get it without a cable subscription. Consumers decided to pay up...if they had refused, that would have flopped and they would have had no choice but to revert back to their broadcast affiliates.
Just now deleted it from my iPhone. But will continue watching on Cox Cable as I refuse to watch Fox anymore.
If Newsmax is on your cable carrier, such as ATT or Comcast, it is still included in your monthly fee.
However, if you watch Newsmax on your phone or on Samsung TV or some such in a streaming manner , then you pay five dollars a month if you want to keep it.
I watched American Sunrise until they fired Ed Henry. I thought it was very good, entertaining and made you feel included as part of the audience, a family. Now Ed has his own kedtalk on Rumble at the same time in the morning for free at the moment. But he’s also going to Newsmax plus in the afternoon sometime.
Can’t stand Gina Louden the socialite and David Brody. They just seem so fake
Could our beloved Freerepublic be far behind?
I CERTAINLY hope not!!!
Yes, he is good too!
“I watch on Roku and sometimes on Pluto. It’s free. I’m not sure people will pay to watch them.”
Not anymore... “A Republic if you can >afford to buy it<”. I’m done, like mentioned I am not going to pay both a subscription and suffer through ads too. It is the tipping point towards too greedy.
No wonder we are losing the war of freedom. We care more about extortion money from freedom than freedom it’s self. When is it moral to care more about money than doing what one can to help freedom succeed?
Good for them, short term profits for themselves in exchange for long term loss for everyone else. They have taken the proverbial 30 pieces of silver...
“The ‘free’ (really ad-supported) streaming money is running out for everyone. Everyone is going back to the old pay-to-play service model from the dawn of the commercial internet. Get used to it.”
One or the other, not both. Doing both shows they don’t give one care about freedom or supporting conservatives. Fine take the ads off then. I draw the line at getting soaked for both.

Bingo. Absolutely, we are our own worst enemy with ignorant consumerism. It is absolutely legal to say NO I’M NOT PAYING THAT.
There is a great shake up going on in all streaming.
They all originally thought they could be either subscription or ad based.
Neither model generates enough revenue to support original programming, which has become stupid expensive. This is the fallout from the recent strikes in Hollywood combined with the left’s push for increased wages, more benefits, and fewer hours. This, in conjunction with increased energy costs, also due to leftist policies, has driven inflation, which in turn, puts even more pressure on wages. Isn’t this fun!
Anyway, for all of you who complained about paying for cable channels you never watched…voila! Now you will pay individually for every channel or service you want to watch. Is this better? Maybe, if you didn’t watch that many channels in the first place.
I suggest you look at how cable worked. Originally, it was for ad-free TV options... hasn’t been for decades, but people still sub to cable/satellite/etc. with ads.
