Disney To Add Newsmax To Hulu

The Walt Disney Company has reached a distribution agreement with Newsmax to add the news and commentary channel to its Hulu with Live TV this summer, according to The Desk.

Newsmax will be added to Disney’s pay TV service Hulu with Live TV in July, making it the latest streaming cable TV alternative to offer the network. Newsmax is already available on Fubo. If you recall, Disney previously reached a deal with the Fubo streaming Cable service to add it to Hulu with Live TV.

Newsmax is also offered on Dish Network’s Sling TV and Google-owned YouTube TV.

The addition of Hulu with Live TV will put Newsmax in front of 60 million homes, the network said in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday.

Newsmax typically ranks as the fourth most-watched cable news channel in the United States, behind Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC, sometimes falling behind NewsNation.

Both Newsmax and NewsNation skew more conservative-friendly.

Before this deal, Newsmax’s average audience was 33 million viewers quarterly, with a monthly reach of 15 million viewers.

This will be a nice boost for Newsmax if it all gets approved smoothly.
