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

Posted on 11/16/2020 7:37:06 AM PST by marcusmaximus

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.

The Fox ratings collapse is real.

Tucker, Sean and Laura ratings are down 30-40% in primetime since Fox called the race for Pedo Joe.

Cavuto ratings are down by almost 60%.

The rest of the Fox daytime hosts show ratings are down between 45-55%.

These ratings losses will directly affect Fox's advertising revenues very soon.

I don’t even know where I would go to “watch” newsmax. I can go to their website to read their stories, though.

I still like Laura, Tucker, et al and will occasionally catch their shows commercial free on Youtube, but that’s about it.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

Try watching @OANN. Really GREAT!

And they are already on some cable systems. Trump could afford to broadcast them free online.

They’ll likely hold out until the election is decided expecting former listeners will return. We shall see.

Newsmax needs to strike while the iron is hot, Beef up production quality, get a few solid people in their evening lineup and they have a start.

Someone smart should buy Newsmax and make equity offers to Hannity, Ingraham, and the other conservative talent. They would bring their audience and share in the profits at an unconstrained network which is poised for huge growth as AM radio fades away. Build the new foxnews replacement.

I have not had any TV in my home since 1997. It’s probably why I’m such a denier on the virus, global warming, etc. I’m not brainwashed.

You can download the free app for Newsmax. You can also listen on U-verse channel 1220 and spectrum depending on where you live if that is your cable provider and on Comcast it’s channel 1165.

Ingraham

It's best if she's left behind. Gay Raymond can come and clean the latrines, but please not her.

Everything I get into my home that is video or audio is streamed. I don’t know what U-verse is.

I don’t really watch much any more since I don’t have my 3 hour commute, in which I used to “watch” Laura, Tucker and the Five on youtube. I mainly just read my news unless a story depends on the visual, like the Antifa attacks on people.
