To those who lost Newsmax, you can get Newsmax for free using a Roku. They have a channel app you can install and watch it to your heart's content.


For OANN, you can watch it on your Roku using a service called 'KlowdTV'.


The cost of the service is very minute. I signed up at a time when I got it for two dollars and fifty cents.


KlowdTV includes a number of other news and related channels as well.


If there is ever a reason to become a 'cord cutter', this could be it.


I dropped my cable TV a long time ago. I have been using my Roku to watch programming for years.

Fred
