streaming, cable and satellite television channel. It is owned by Performance Once Media, LLC, a media company based in Centennial, Colorado. The network launched in 2018 originally as America's Voice News and rebranded to Real America's Voice in September 2020.
History
The network is owned by Robert J. Sigg
and is a sister channel to
WeatherNation TV.
It is of no relation to the former
National Empowerment Television of the late 1990s, which rebranded to America's Voice in its final years.
Sigg launched Real America's Voice through his company, Performance One Media in 2018. The company had previously operated WeatherNation before expanding into political media.
The rebranding in 2020 coincided with a broader push into conservative political commentary and live-streaming of pro-Trump rallies. During the 2020 election cycle, Real America's Voice gained popularity among conservative viewers and expanded its reach through streaming platforms and satellite TV distribution.
Real America's Voice has been described by media watchdog groups as a right-wing to far-right outlet.
The network and online presences have promoted right-wing and far-right conspiracy theories, including
