Newsmax Launches in Latin America
N
ewsmax has begun
broadcasting live on DGO, DirecTV Latin America’s streaming and live TV platform. The distribution
move comes as millions around the globe are tracking news about the upcoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump. DGO is available at no additional cost to DirecTV subscribers in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Uruguay. Additionally, non- DirecTV customers will also be able to access DGO through multiple plans. “Latin America
is the second fastest-growing streaming market globally, and DirecTV Latin America is one of the largest multichannel players in the region,” Andy Biggers, senior vice president of content distribution of Newsmax, said. “We’re excited
Newsmax is now available to DirecTV and DGO viewers to get a U.S. perspective on global issues, especially those affecting Latin American interests.”
Friends Rally to Help Michael Grimm

F
riends and supporters are rallying to help Newsmax
host Michael Grimm, who was paralyzed from the neck down after a horse-riding accident in September. They have launched
a GoFundMe page, hoping to raise $2.5 million to defray the cost of his recovery. “Our friend, veteran Marine,
FBI Agent, and U.S. Congressman Michael Grimm was paralyzed following a devastating accident when thrown from a horse in September 2024,” the GoFundMe page says. “Through the grace of God,
Mr. Grimm has miraculously threaded the needle to survive, yet his ongoing care and the treatment to walk again will cost millions of dollars. “For a man who has dedicated
his life to helping others, we now humbly ask that you give generously to help him.” At the time of the accident,
Grimm was cohosting Newsmax TV’s Wake Up Weekend with Sarah Williamson.
Newsmax cohosts Sarah Williamson and Michael Grimm. “His strength of character will help him get through this,” she says.
“Michael always has a positive
attitude. Being the Marine that he is, his strength of character will help him get through this,” said Williamson. She recently visited Grimm and said he was in good spirits, but has “a very long road to recovery.” “We miss him and look
forward to him coming back,” she said.
Grimm, 54, is being treated
at a rehabilitation center in New Jersey — the same facility where the late actor Christopher Reeve recovered after he was paralyzed from the neck down after a horse-riding accident. “He’s being treated to try to
give him the function that he can obtain. A lot of prayers are needed,” former New York City Councilman Vincent Ignizio told the New York Post. “Staten Island always steps up when someone is in need, and I’m hopeful that they do the same for a former congressman
and friend, Michael Grimm,” Ignizio, current deputy executive director of the New York City Board of Elections, told the Staten Island Advance. An avid horseman, Grimm
frequently posted on social media about horses and playing polo.
A conservative Republican, Grimm has been a longtime supporter of President-elect Donald Trump.
“Michael has been a
colleague, a friend, and a great American,” Chris Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax, said. “We are all praying for him, and the results are already showing.” Grimm represented Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn in the U.S. House. Most recently, he had been active in a real estate business.
