Newsmax App no longer allows selection of Individual Shows (Greg Kelly, Spicer and Company etc.) When trying to watch latest episodes of any Newsmax show, Roku will search, then return to Home Screen. I find it suspicious, that a Tech Device is suddenly refusing play of Conservative Political content. Klowd TV is also a little clunky today. Is Roku going to force me to do away with their device too? I wouldn't want to have to Cast directly to my TV but if they start Shadow Censoring Content, I certainly will Cut them out of the loop...

Mohayley You can also watch it on the Roku Channel Live TV ch. 150, Pluto LiveTV ch. 236, Plex Live TV, and of course, Rumble/RumbleTV.Roku is not blocking Newsmax. The Newsmax Channel/app is just having some issues currently with their LiveTV in the standalone Channel/app.

I found that I could load Newsmax by searching for it from the left-hand menu, then open it from the results, even though it wouldn't open directly from selecting the app. Can't explain it...but it worked.

Opening the app directly did not work. But searching for the channel like I was downloading it, and open it there worked just fine...weird. Thanks for the insight!

Same problem here. We have just started watching newsmax on roku so we were not sure if it was something we were doing wrong, but it is the only program (station) that stops in the middle of watching a program. It has happened multiple times to us in the past few days.

It has been doing it since I have had roku. I don’t like it but I will still watch newsmax

  I have the same problem as Suellen!Suddenly Newsmax live will just shut down. Then we need to go back to home and reopen the app. That usually gets it back. Very annoying though. Don’t like to watch on the Roku channel because of the long delays. I feel like I’m missing something.

For me, Newsmax won't even load on my Rokus today, it starts to open, then closes back to the Roku Home menu. It failed the same way on my Streaming Stick+ (3800 Series) and my Express (3900 series). It actually worked fine, though, on my Premiere (3920 series) and my TCL Roku TV.

They must have blocked it. You can watch it on Rumble.
