NEWSMAX

Same for me... this is really irritating! I also have had it (included in the package I pay for) and all of a sudden it's requiring "a subscription".  That doesn't sound right, I wonder if it's being messed with because it's conservative. I also have it on Roku (did need a subscription for that but it's always been that way on Roku) so I can still listen but haven't heard anything on there regarding xfinity Newsmax blackout.
