The duo were initially unable to agree on financial terms on an agreement, which resulted in DirecTV losing the rights to distribute Newsmax programming on January 25.

Financial terms were not disclosed.

As a stand-alone company, DirecTV helped give Newsmax its start nearly a decade ago as it continues to do with upcoming news networks, which is why we are pleased to reach a mutually beneficial agreement that will deliver our network to DirecTV, DirecTV Stream and U-verse customers over the next several years, according to Christopher Ruddy, CEO of Newsmax.
