Just over a year
ago, many were
questioning whether
Newsmax could
re-up its distribution
deals as it
made the switch
from a free network
to one that charges
affiliate fees. But
Ruddy laid those questions to rest by starting out 2024
with renewals with license fees with all the major operators,
including DISH, Verizon, DirecTV, Comcast and
Charter. 2023 also saw the launch of the Newsmax+
subscription service, which since it debuted Nov. 1 has
gained 180,000 subscribers. Newsmax has scored some
high-profile interviews, including Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu's first with a U.S. news program since
the Israel-Hamas war began.

FAVORITE WAY TO DESTRESS?
I like to sit down,
play guitar and come up with
new musical ideas. Playing
an instrument demands
your full attention. This
mindfulness helps reduce
anxiety and brings a sense
of calm. Generating fresh
musical ideas gives me the
creative freedom to innovate and experiment in a calming way.
WHAT EMERGING INDUSTRY TREND ARE YOU MOST
EXCITED BY AND WHY? The application of artificial
intelligence within the content creation process. AI has
the ability to help content creators ideate a wider array of
concepts and focus their efforts on more of the creation, less
of the administrative work. By enhancing and personalizing
different aspects of the content creation process, creators can
spend more time on the specialized, subjective demands of
their content. ●

Q&A
TV SERIES EVERYONE SHOULD BINGE: " The East
End " on News 12! We recently relaunched the show
and the new look and energy are unmatched. If you
haven't watched, it essentially explores the Long Island
region where foodies, families and outdoor enthusiasts
can find the perfect nearby getaway. There's something
for everyone, and it's where I've discovered a lot of my
now-favorite local spots.
FAVORITE WAY TO DE-STRESS? I recently got into
hot yoga and it has changed the game for me, both
physically and mentally. I also love to cook. ●
