Newsmax? Great, just what cable television needs- a "news" channel that makes Fox News look normal.
Newsmax isn't news, its a right wing conspiracy spinner. It's Fox on steroids.
Meanwhile, we still don't have either C-Span or BBC World in HD. |

Odd thing is, they have a documentary on right now on World War II heroes. Shouldn't the mornings have the current news? |

BBC W really should be in HD.
That Fusion channel is really awful. I can't believe Disney is behind it. Cablevision has it in HD, but that is truly a waste. HLN is looking to maybe change their format to more of what Fusion programs --- news for millennials. LOL. Crazy. They get their news from twitter, youtube and Jon Stewart. Fusion actually has Puppets telling some news stories. Unwatchable to anyone! |

Fusion is not in my Extreme package, so I'm glad I'm not paying for that garbage. I now see the next show on Fusion is about Icelandic pornography, Ebola, ISIS and voice game artists.... hey now that is news. |

Re: New Channel: Newsmax TV Ch115said by Staten67:Newsmax? Great, just what cable television needs- a "news" channel that makes Fox News look normal. Diversity is good even if you may not like it. I would not watch Newsmax but I see nothing wrong with providing News from the full political spectrum. |

Newsmax TV is a United States cable news channel created by Newsmax Media. It is a conservative based TV Network, similar to Fox News.
I won't be watching. |

Don't we already have OAN for "news" further right than Fox?
BBC World News would be better for actual diversity instead of just the same basic message only louder. |

BBC World News would be better for actual diversity instead of just the same basic message only louder. Not to jump into the political fray (although what follows isn't a political statement - it speaks to the content of the channel) - for anyone who believes that OAN colors its news in any way: watch the channel. They don't. Yes, they have a couple talk shows at night that are conservative, but for 20 hours of programming a day, the only way you could tell the channel has conservative roots is by watching the commercials. The news they have is the most dispassionate I think I've ever seen on any broadcast. |

BBC World News would be better for actual diversity instead of just the same basic message only louder. Yes BCC World should be in HD by now!!! It's a good service, and mostly free of punditry. said by JPL:Not to jump into the political fray (although what follows isn't a political statement - it speaks to the content of the channel) - for anyone who believes that OAN colors its news in any way: watch the channel.

OAN is fine in terms of it's level of sleazy punditry, but I don't watch because too many hosts/programs are like amateur hour. Not polished at all. said by bohratom:We also have MSNBC and Al Jazeera America which are far to the left. Diversity is good so the more the merrier. MSNBC is putridly bad, just as Fox and CNN and HLN. Fox Business is perhaps the worst. They all do nothing but sensationalize, with tabloid-like creeps, blowhard pundits, and plenty of brain dead beauty queens. They are all controlled by giant corporations, who refuse to report real news. Al Jazeera America is not pundit-fueled. In fact, they keep their news programs and opinion stuff separate, as it should be. Their documentary series are excellent, and tackle issues that the corporate media refuse to. If you want real, true liberal programming, I wouldn't mind having RT America added the same as conservatives argue for The Blaze. If Verizon allowed me to block, I would block MSNBC, CNN, HLN, Fox News, and Fox business ASAP. |

The new channel has not shown up in VHO1 yet. Also, have not received any emails from Verizon on the channel. Is there a published roll out schedule? |

This channel has some great war documentaries. I've been enjoying them. But as soon as they turn to their "news programming", I'm out of there. |

said by bohratom:We also have MSNBC and Al Jazeera America which are far to the left. Diversity is good so the more the merrier. Al Jazeera is no way far left. They are a fact based down the middle news network. They do not pander to one side or the other and when they have guests from both sides on, it's for intelligent fact based discussion. I agree diversity is good, but Fox News is the number 1 watched cable news network, so it's not like conservative voices are not being heard! So do we really need OAN and Newsmax too? Both which go even further right? |

They never send emails about channel adds. If anything it sometimes shows up in the Messages on your STB. Usually they will add a blurb in your bill about 1-2 months after the channel was added. |

said by Ike2 :Yes..... "progressives" controlling the 98% of the MSM is not enough. Find this to be an oft stated fact, but not really true. Fox News, number 1 cable network. That makes it MAIN STREAM. All else pales in comparison, so not like conservative voices are not being heard. Conservative talk dominates the radio with Rush, Hannity, etc., while liberal/progressive talk radio is non existent. MSNBC programming may be to the left of the dial, but for long time they were owned by GE, whose Board of Directors were not left leaning. Now owned by Comcast, and I question the political leaning of their board. Wall Street Journal...number 1 financial newspaper in the country, owned by Murdoch. My local Boston Globe, which is seen as liberal, is owned by John Henry who based on his wealth and past career in commodities, seems to be a Republican to me. I could go on, but the point is that the 98% fact is throw out a lot by Republicans because they don't like what they hear on news networks that are not Fox News. But many of these networks/papers/magazines are "controlled" by a President and a Board of Directors. And many of them are Republicans. |
