The rise of Newsmax TV has caused a major shake-up at Fox News, which announced Monday that its early evening show host Martha MacCallum has been demoted back to an early afternoon slot, among other changes to the lineup.
"Newsmax's consistently strong numbers during the day and especially at the 7 p.m. ET slot has caused panic at Fox, which rarely makes lineup changes," Newsmax said in a statement Monday, adding with a wink, "The Fox is on the run."
MacCallum's "The Story" had long been the #1 cable news show in the 7 p.m. time slot, until Newsmax TV's "Greg Kelly Reports" began a ratings surge in recent months.

“Newsmax is an online only streaming service.”
No. Channel 349 on DirecTV.
Don’t blame the script readers, this is all about upper management.
See post #60. You’re mistaking a delivery service with the actual originator of the content. Common mistake among many on this thread.
“How do you think UVerse gets Newsmax? (hint: Newsmax is not a broadcast TV station.)”
So what? Neither is Fox News.

So sorry to hear that. She was pretty level headed when I
used to watch her.
She had a great wholesome smile and I thought highly of her.
Oh well...
Newsmax is on my television set right now. Channel 1220 on AT&T. Is that a streaming service?
Jane Skinner who used to be at Fox is married to Roger Goodell
Dude, calm down. Your comment is way overboard
Until then I'll just continue to completely despise arrogant, lying News-Whores who work for our enemies.
Unfair and Unbalanced
Yes please.
Martha MacCallum is terrible.....better they let her go altogether.
She is very easy on the eyes IMHO.
I am watching Greg Kelly Reports right now. :-) Although I could do without the Joe Namath commercial.
JoMa
3 p.m. is the death spot.
It was Shep’s spot for awhile.

That’s too bad.
Another one lost.
“How do you think Comcrap gets the Newsmax feed to put on your cable tv box?”
I have no idea. Please enlighten me.
