What is coming up on Newsmax in March 2026?

On Monday, March 2, 2026, Newsmax is operating at a fever pitch, delivering wall-to-wall coverage of the U.S. and Israeli military strikes against the Iranian regime that dominated headlines over the weekend. The network is leaning heavily into its "independent conservative" branding, with flagship hosts like Greg Kelly, who recently renewed his contract alongside Carl Higbie, highlighting his own late-February predictions that a strike was imminent "after Wall Street closes." The daily lineup is anchored by the high-energy Wake Up America with Marc Lotter and Sharla McBride, followed by the National Report and Bianca Across the Nation, all of which are providing real-time updates on the global "Black Monday" market fallout and the reported targeting of Supreme Leader Khamenei.

As the day transitions into primetime, the network’s "Powerful Trifecta" takes center stage: Greta Van Susteren provides veteran legal and international analysis on The Record at 4:00 PM, leading into Ed Henry’s common-sense breakdown on The Big Take. The evening is then dominated by the network's heavy hitters, starting with the double-digit ratings growth of Carl Higbie Frontline at 6:00 PM and culminating in Greg Kelly Reports at 9:00 PM, where the rhetoric centers on American military strength and a "peace through power" narrative. Fresh off a massive ratings milestone of 4 million viewers for President Trump's State of the Union address last week, CEO Chris Ruddy continues to position the channel as the primary alternative to "mainstream media bias," ensuring that every hour, from Rob Schmitt Tonight to the heated debates on The Right Squad, is laser-focused on national security and the 2026 legislative landscape.

Frequently asked questions

Fubo (formerly fubo TV) has a number of plans: Pro, Elite, Deluxe and Sports, with a Latino package at a fraction of the cost and for a lot less channels. Add-ons are also available, if you wish to add more sports and entertainment to your package.

No, Fubo is a completely different and independent streaming provider to Amazon.

While Fubo has plenty of sports options, it lacks the Warner Bros. Discovery channels, meaning you can't watch TNT, TBS, and TruTV, which are crucial for some MLB and NBA games and other popular content.

Furthermore, due to recent developments, Fubo have also recently lost rights to the NBC channels - a huge drawback for a sports-centric service when NBC carries popular sporting events such as Sunday Night Football and English Premier League soccer.

Yes, payments are taken monthly unless you opt for a quarterly payment setup.

Yes, Fubo is available to use on a Fire Stick, as well as a number of other devices, including Roku.

Yes, you can watch Fubo on your television, by installing the app onto your Smart TV or via a web browser that's connected to your TV.

Yes, you can watch up to 10 simultaneous streams from your home location on various devices connected to your home Wi-Fi, and on three additional mobile devices from various locations away from your home.

Prices tend to rise annually, but Fubo does operate a one-year price lock guarantee.

No, Fubo doesn't give refunds for this, but doesn't lock you in to annual contract either.

Fubo could be down due to a number of reasons, such as internet connectivity, app problems or even a service outage.

Check the Wi-Fi or home broadband you're connected to to see if there's an issue there. You can try updating or reinstalling the app, as well as checking there isn't an electrical outage in the area by testing other equipment or, specifically, other devices or apps that connect to the same internet.

There's a good chance your internet speed isn't fast enough, especially if you are experiencing buffering while streaming.

Check there's nothing blocking or interfering with the internet hub or router, so the signal isn't being disrupted.

Optionally, you can lower the picture quality if you are experiencing buffering, which may help it to run smoother.

This could be because the service is geo-restricted, meaning you cannot use it outside of the United States or area you are trying to access specific local channels.

Using a VPN is a way to circumvent the issue, as Fubo is generally region and country specific.
