Newsmax TV is being called “a rising alternative to Fox News” by Frontpage Mag.
In an article posted Monday, Frontpage Mag, headed by noted conservative David Horowitz, said Newsmax TV is “filling the crucial need for more conservative points of view on cable television.”
And it noted “Fox News is clearly not up to the task of confronting alone, the constant bombardment of leftist propaganda that viewers are exposed to on CNN, MSNBC and the three broadcast networks.”
The website said in the nearly six years since its launch, Newsmax TV has taken off. It pointed out it is now accessible by over 70 million households and reaches about 8 million people a month in viewership.
And it added that its overall reach has risen close to 200% since August 2019. It attributed the information to ComScore data. Over the last year, Newsmax TV ad revenue has doubled.
Frontpage Mag pointed out Newsmax TV was created by journalist-entrepreneur Christopher Ruddy, who is CEO and president of Newsmax Media Inc. It called Ruddy “one of the unsung heroes of the conservative movement.”
“There is a growing disenchantment with Fox News and we are definitely seeing a rise in viewership with Newsmax,” Ruddy said.
Newsmax TV recently surpassed Bloomberg television in total household reach, household coverage area rating and average audience.
Frontpage Mag said Newsmax TV has continued to “enhance its programming most recently by adding former Trump White House press secretary Sean Spicer to its roster of hosts.”
"Sean has been on the inside of how decisions are made in a way so few have," Ruddy said. "He was a success as White House press secretary because he connected to ordinary Americans."
