It is a Newsmax Channel/app issue. Occurs occasionally, and normally only the LiveTV feature is affected. It will resolve itself on its own (never more than a day, normally in just a matter of hours).
You can watch Newsmax on Roku Channel Live TV (ch. 150), Pluto TV (ch. 236), Xumo Channel (ch. 138), Plex (Live TV - News and Opinion channels).

This is not correct. I haven't been able to watch Newsmax for 3 days now. I watch Newsmax all day usually and this if very annoying. I've tried roku live Channel 150 and that no longer works either. I can still watch OAN live but it is never live. OAN runs days behind the current news. This seriously needs to be fixed.

Then you are having a unique issue if you cannot watch Newsmax on the other LiveTV streaming providers I mentioned above. Have you tried Pluto ch. 236 or Xumo ch. 138.
Regarding your issue with OAN, are you sure you are watching OAN Live either through the subscription OAN Channel/app, KlowdTV, etc. All the free Channels/apps offer OAN Plus, which is previously-recorded content although it is streaming on LiveTV.
Perhaps your issue is device or region related. I can at least tell you that at this point, the Newsmax Channel/app is currently working (kind of-- you have to use left arrow to access live TV as large selection box is still missing), as well as the alternative methods I mentioned above.
If you are still having issue, post back with your Roku model number and if you are seeing any error codes while attempting to stream.

It's not unique as I am having the same issue. Newsmax hasn't worked since Thursday. It works fine on the mobile app, but not on the Roku app.

I to have been having the same issue for more than a week now.

Piling on here. For the past week or so, 80% of the time I launch the Newsmax app I get the same thing- just a bunch of tiles for the different shows, and nothing for the active one. Sometimes if I bounce out and come back in I can get the active tile, but usually not. Very frustrating as a cord cutter since I like being able to stream Newsmax.
Edit: I tried deleting and reading the channel on my Roku. Problem persists,
