Newsmax has revealed its plans to launch a dedicated streaming service, Newsmax+, set to replace the current free-to-watch Newsmax TV. This transition, effective tomorrow, November 1st, 2023, entails moving the live feed behind the Newsmax+ paywall.
Chris Ruddy, the CEO of Newsmax, expressed enthusiasm about offering a wide range of content to the millions of Americans already tuning into Newsmax.
