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.

I found Newsmax TV on Pluto, and I'm super impressed by it. It's every bit as professional as Fox, and the guests are terrific. I'm learning things about the current election challenges that the MSM, including Fox News, aren't telling me. My only complaint is the buffering that occurs within the first few seconds of turning to the station--it throws the audio off so the audio and video are perpetually out of sync.

Gee, do I want to watch Martha McCallum interview Harold Ford Jr., Donna Brazile, and Juan Williams, or should I watch rock-ribbed conservative Greg Kelly, in staunch defense of the current White House ?

Hmmmm......

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

Agreed. Plus, they have to stop gloating.. it's getting on my nerves. They have to earn our viewship if they expect to keep it. We Left FoxNews because of management and the daytime NeverTrumpers in front of the camera, not because Newsmax TV was better. Although I must say, The Benny Show is fun.. he is an exact clone if Tucker.

Tucker is good, by O'Reilly also got huge numbers in that time slot. There are many other qualified people who can get 3-6 million viewers, Levin is one of them.

I agree. Ingraham is weak. First to flee, can be pushed around by sponsors, just not reliable. Could easily be flipped.

I agree, not a big fan of hers. I’d like to see Tucker and Judge Jeanine for sure. Levin and Hannity are ok but both get on my nerves.

The spin of course is “the children who watch FNC are throwing a tantrum because FNC told the truth that Biden won”. The truth FNC is as bad as the rest of them now and we have moved on. All you are going to hear is we couldn’t handle hearing the from FNC so we left.

The listed are favorites of POTUS also.
Last I heard he's urging people to switch to NewsMax...

Have you heard anyone at Fox News coming to his defense or mentioning the potential voter fraud of the Democrats?

The only true loyalists that I know of at Fox, not afraid to speak out in defense of POTUS is Lou Dobbs and maybe Jesse Watters. (I wonder where they'll be working next week?)

The best conservative commentators in the business are on Fox.
They also are a sounding board for liberals, AKA as Fox News contributors, to spew their bile uninterrupted, even by Hannity, the master at interrupting guests.

For awhile we got OAN on directv channel 347 but for some reason it’s not on now.....I don’t know if you have to pay extra or Directv and OAN have some type of dispute that is keeping it off.

“CNN is having a temper tantrum over Newsmax too.”

Proud to be a knuckle-dragging deplorable.
