Newsmax Sees Big Ratings Win Over Fox, CNN Again
Newsmax ^ | 7 July 2021 | Bill Hoffmann

For the second time in two weeks, Newsmax is the big ratings winner, this time for its live coverage of Saturday’s rally for Donald Trump — and it's beating Fox in key Nielsens.

Last Saturday night, Newsmax estimates, more than 3 million U.S. viewers tuned in on traditional cable and through streaming OTT to watch former President Trump’s “Save America” rally live from Sarasota, Florida.

Nielsen reported that Newsmax drew a total audience coverage rating of .86, compared to Fox News .70, CNN’s .33 and MSNBC’s miniscule .16.

Newsmax was only major cable channel to cover the Trump July 3 rally live.

Newsmax also beat all three competitors in the coverage rating for the key demo of viewers ages 35-64, drawing a .75 to Fox’s runner-up number of .53.

Nielsen's Coverage Rating, which shows key audience metrics based on proportional penetration of cable homes, puts Newsmax on an "apples to apples" basis with other networks like Fox and CNN, which have broader distribution.

Nielsen says Newsmax drew a total audience reach of over 1.9 million viewers on traditional cable during its Saturday speech coverage, with its per-minute viewers at close to 1.1 million.

I still prefer OAN, as they have never cowered to Dominion or the leftists, whereas, Newsmax whimpered at the threats they used and censored those who wondered into “dangerous” territory.

Yep, NewsMax is the place to go. I have truly felt LIBERATED and enjoy several alternate news sites. I get unlifted and sense more HOPE, looking at these free sites who are working to get us the NEWS straight from the horses mouth.

And Newsmax caved to Dominion. OANN didn't.

Pretty good! :) If my tag was not being used, I would probably borrow it.

I don’t get the full OAN on my Pluto TV via Roku. I mainly watch Real America’s Voice.

Try using the Live TV option on Roku. That is how I get OAN.

Blm is the new kkk (someone called them the ‘Klan with a tan’)

They are doing what the kkk did, burning, looting, assaulting, terrorizing, even murdering people and cops. The kkk hasn’t done any of this for decades now, but blm sure is doing thes things with a vengeance now.

The filthy dirty rotten lying left claim that conservatives are the biggest threat to the nation while the ,eft turn a completely blind eye to the fact that the ONLY ONES terrorizing Americans these days are blm, antifa, and Muslims as they terrorize Jews in broad daylight in full view of witnesses

White conservative folks aren’t the ones going around terrorizing an mobbing restaurants and outdoor dinersand driving black people from them. Only black people and a Tifa are doing this. White conservatives aren’t the ones bur ing down billions of dollars worth of businesses, destroying people’s vehicles and homes, assaulting them, attacking defenseless old people on the streets, attacking Asians and Jews etc. No, the only ones doing this are blm and antifa and Muslims- the news is full of examples every single day

That’s a better alternative than Newsmax in my opinion. I have DirecTV so I get both Newsmax and OAN. I never watch Newsmax anymore.

Newsmax has delusions of becoming a replacement for Fox. They are having liberal/conservative groups like Fox and are crowing about how they are beating them. They actually have a better shot because of the advantage of streaming, but they are more of a classic news source that is conservative.

Interesting that of the four news networks the ratings are lower the more Left leaning they are, with the two least Left having three times the audience of the two most Left.

Sorry but Newsmax is simply MSNBC with its bias obscurely to the right.

I see nothing to celebrate around any of these circus channels getting any ratings at all

Is that a channel or a setting? I've never seen it.

Roku is built-in to my TV and not plugin Roku device. I'm not sure if Live TV is option for plugin device. I have several options such as Cable, Live TV, etc. Maybe you can open the Roku app and get to it that way but not sure.

Start up enthusiasm, imo.

They open with a guy and a lady, that appear to have just left the FOX couch across the hall, play off each other before reading the news .... just like FOX
