Newsmax has announced it has signed anchor Greta Van Susteren to a new, multi-year contract extension to remain with the cable network.
Van Susteren will continue to host The Record, which premiered in 2022 and airs at 6 PM ET, as part of her extension working with the network.
The longtime cable news anchor joined Newsmax after previously working at CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC, as well as serving as a contributor to Voice of America and hosting a weekly show for local stations owned by Gray Media.
“The past three years have been an incredible experience enabling me to report from diverse global news centers ranging from the Ukraine to Israel, Colombia, and Ecuador,” says Van Susteren. “I am grateful to Newsmax for the opportunity afforded me and look forward to continuing to deliver a straight and honest look at the day’s news for my audience.”
The news of a contract extension for Greta Van Susteren comes on the heels of a strong first-quarter ratings performance for the program and the network overall. During the first three months of 2025, The Record with Greta Van Susteren saw an 11% uptick in year-over-year growth. The network’s dayside lineup saw 27% increase during the window, while it grew 24% in total day and 20% in primetime.
“Greta is an internationally recognized journalist known for her ground-breaking reporting, insightful analysis and integrity,” Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy said. “We’re honored to have her continue to serve as lead anchor with us.”
