Looks like AT&T/DirectTV (and in kind, DirectTV Stream) is considering removing Newsmax from its platform.
Fortunately, Newsmax has their own streaming channel/app, and is carried by many of the available channels/apps on the Roku platform in its LiveTV programming including Roku Channel ch. 190, PlutoTV ch. 460, Xumo Play, Plex, KlowdTV, and others.
I really don't think the cable companies are learning anything, even when people cancel their subscriptions and go to streaming. That is why it is important to keep recruiting and introducing people to the world of streaming.
Newsmax follows after they removed OANN. When you subscribe to satellite, cable, or streaming-based multi-channel outlets(YouTube TV, Sling, etc.), you are a hostage to their whims and what they do what their lineups. Having a Roku and direct access to channels is the only way to go, IMHO.
