Newsmax Breaks Viewership Record After Conservatives Turn Against Fox News Over Election Coverage
Newsweek ^ | 11/13/2020 | DANIEL VILLARREAL

Capitalizing on growing right-wing discontent with Fox News, Newsmax, a conservative-leaning news network, has recently broken a 1 million-person viewership mark for one of its programs while attracting well-known Republican to speak on its airwaves.

In a tweet published Friday evening, the Newsmax Twitter account announced, that its Thursday installment of Greg Kelly Reports averaged 1.06 million viewers at 7 p.m. that night while Fox News averaged 2.06 million views at the same hour.

The talk news program, hosted by a former Marine Corps veteran and daytime news anchor, has attracted high-profile Republican political figures of late including Trump-supporting, anti-lockdown South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem; outspoken Florida Representative Matt Gaetz; former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin; and anti-LGBTQ author Michelle Malkin.

Somehow I doubt they are scared. They have won. The one and only conservative news network with actual influence has been turned by Murdoch’s rat kids and Ryan. An outlier like Newsmax doesn’t scare them one bit.

Roku is fantastic! I had mine for five years and it’s great!

I recently upgraded to a Nvidia Shield TV Pro and it’s much snappier and better, but I think the Roku is the best entry into home streaming.

Any conservative watching Chris Wallace should be shot.

"Newsmax is included with Directv for no additional charge, they are on channel 349..."

Dish is channel 216.

Here's an on-line link.

Excellent. Haven’t been on in weeks. Let Foxnews die a fast death.

On my local radio station Fox News begins with 10 minutes of Covid, Covid, Covid, Fauci, Fauci, Fauci and ends with orange man bad.

Yep.. FoxNews has the best evening lineup. Wish they would leave FoxNews and either join Newsmax TV or start there own Network.. I’ve been saying this for over 12 years.

“... has lost 30% of his audience...”

and I wonder if the popularity of the conservative voices on Fox might be the reason Fox turned left. That is the only way to quiet them, reduce their viewership. There is no doubt in my mind these Fox conservatives played a big role in the popularity of POTUS leading up to the election. They played a larger role in spreading the President’s message, much more than Twitter. With the millions now tuned out they are deprived of knowing what the President is saying.

Everyone I listed are ardent POTUS supporters. I have watched both Newsmax and OANN and like them both, but they don’t come close to matching the list, yet.
