Newsmax to end Free Streams. Don't Blame Roku
On November 1, 2023, looks like Newsmax will be going behind a paywall. They will end their free streams on the various streaming LiveTV services like Roku and others. You can sign up for Newsmax+ ...

Where is the Newsmax Plus app I cannot find it on Roku
It does not look like Newsmax has updated their OTT channels/apps to support Newsmax+ yet. Will need to wait for them to update or release a new channel/app for the Roku platform.
I noticed the login screen for the Newsmax+ appears when trying to watch online at their site. Here you can login/signin/signup. https://www.newsmaxtv.com/ You could then cast to your TV or through Roku, or use a HDMI cable from your laptop directly to your TV. (no Roku required)
I like to use Web Video Caster for casting online content to my Roku devices. Install the companion receiver on your Roku device/RokuTV, and then the Web Video Caster app on your phone or mobile device. https://channelstore.roku.com/details/dd37e6d096d3197a9578787890118e33/web-video-caster-receiver
I noticed when I installed the Newsmax app on my phone, it automatically had Newsmax+, Newsmax2, etc and played LiveTV fine without signing in. (did not create an account for Newsmax). Did not seem to be a preview (timed), though this is likely to change.

Almost seems that Newsmax kind of forgot their agreement went into effect today. Either that, or the lack of having an available OTT channel/app ready to go for Roku and other streaming services shows users their newly found priority.
