Conservative news network Newsmax TV is available as of Friday on ATT U-Verse for the first time, and has returned to DirecTV as part of the satellite platform’s news bundle.
“With our launch on DIRECTV and U-verse, Newsmax TV has the opportunity to serve more viewers,” Newsmax Media CEO Christopher Ruddy said in a statement.
Ruddy’s Newsmax TV is now available in nearly 40 million homes.
“Newsmax TV has a unique audience of Americans seeking news they can’t get from other major networks,” Ruddy said.
Ruddy recently said he thinks “very highly” of former Fox News star Bill O’Reilly — who was fired amid a series of sexual harassment allegations — according to Politico’s Hadas Gold, who tweeted that Ruddy would be “very open” to hiring him.
