DIRECTV dropping OANN?

This is in high demand. Be sure to also post on DirecTV's Facebook & Twitter to show the demand for this channel.

Yes, please add OAN to DirectTV.. BEST News coverage ever!

I am in the process of changing over from Uverse to DirecTV. I noticed that OANN is not in the listing. It is the best unbiased news network on TV. Since AT&T and DirecTV are together I really want DirecTV to carry OANN.

ONN is in the packs it negotiated for, for what directv was willing to pay

please contact the station and ask them to allow it to be included in lesser packs at the same cost

OAN isn;t in Choice, as far as I know.

@TexasBrit ONN is in Choice. 

This is a forum intended for discussions about AT&T's products and services. About your concern I advice you to contact DirecTV at 1-800-531-5000. Absolutely ONN is included in Choice package.

Agree completely and you're not alone. I found your post by Googling the topic, after a moveon.org petition came across my inbox - just saw, signed, and am sharing here:

No TV provider can decide to remove a channel until their contract is up.

Just because you don't like OAN doesn't mean you can dictate that nobody should be able to watch it. I'm sure lots of OAN fans would love to see DirecTV drop CNN and MSNBC. To each his own. If you don't like it, don't watch it. It's that simple. 

🤦‍♂️This post needs to be closed 

Not everyone shares your views 

LOL --just change the channel -the channel --BYE-BYE

I recently learned DTV is canceling OANN, i HOPE this is NOT true.  It's the ONLY channel I watch on regular TV.  When it goes, i go.  Why are we discussing removal of points of view and honest journalism.  It says volume about what is ostensibly a 'woke' culture at DTV.  

After 18 years of AT&T, they have shown their true colors, and it not RED, WHITE, AND BLUE! I will be canceling ALL of my AT&T services, and will encourage all my relatives, and friends to do the same! BYE AT&T

OAN is a trustworthy news outlet that backs up their statements with data.  CNN ratings tanked becaused they are caught in lie after lie.  OAN is disliked because they expose corruption and lies with evidence.

What do you mean by "pausing"? Commercial breaks during shows? If so, DIRECTV has no control over the commercial length that they air, this is controlled by the bigger companies like Viacom. Also this a public forum and we are customers just like you.

I think they are posting about the paused ads that are downloaded and start after one minute on those 2 channels.  AFAIK all channels are suppose to start after 1 minute.

As far as I can tell these "pause ads" appear on all of my channels after 30 seconds or so. 

When I searched for NEWSMAX by browsing the list of channels, it wasn't even showing up in the channel guide! I had to type the number of the newsmax channel to get NEWSMAX, then when on it, set it to autorecord. Now, DirecTV said Saturday that it has informed One American Network's OAN’s owner, Herring Networks. Inc., that it will no longer carry its two channels when their contract expires. Is DirecTV trying to silence half of America's voices and news?

Asstounding how honest journalism finds its way into the bubble narrative of the left, to the point where is must be removed. Avoiding watching the channel is not enough, it must be totally eradicated so the pearl clutching can stop. OANN does not spin the news, they just report the facts.  Too bad if the facts destroy your jaded interpretation of the world.

@gengel0 U think OAN is honest? Facts? Lies are not facts. Also, lies are not opinions. Let us know when you arrive back from Earth 2. Enjoy the cult you belong to.

To the left brainwashed who can’t stand opposition because they haven’t any defense for their position. I will be immediately canceling my DIRECTV service. I’ve no interest in following the media sheep. 

I read the same article.  It's doesn't appear to be a contract dispute but a decision on DirectTV`s part.  If it does happen in April, I'll drop my service and switch to a different provider or just save my money and go streaming. 

@Ludwick577 - take you partisan politics elsewhere, your no better than the ones you complain about.

As soon as I can get Dish network out here to install I am dropping these facist pig censors at ATT/DirectTV.  I don't watch OAN, but ATT's decision to censor (Edited per community guidelines) view points is unacceptable to me.  Also switching my phone service.

COUNT ON ME DROPPING DIRECTV WHEN THEY DROP OANN. 

DTV can't drop any channels until the contact expires.

My service will be cancelled when OAN is cancelled.  Have a premium package but only watch about 5 of the 95+ channels.  Can get streaming services for less than a quarter of what I pay now.  Probably should tell DirectTV to pound sand now...

If DTV allows contract to expire with OAN so they can drop them, I will be dropping DTV. Honestly, i'm ready to right now just hearing about this... 

Everyone who is going to cancel due to them cancelling OANN, make sure you tell them to remove their satellite dish.  

Bye!

Dozens of other posts on this topic. Feel free to respond in one of those threads. Closing this one. 

Cancelling is not quite accurate, they have said they won’t renew the contract. There is a difference. 

It seems they are but will hide behind "contract renewal".  Apparently it is not able to be discussed on here as another thread on it has been closed.  They can bury their head or they can pay attention the voice of their customer.

Threads are closed when they wander off into political rants and name calling.  If you can voice your opinion that you want the channel to stay, or that you're glad that it's gone without slinging mud, then your comments are welcome.

Call it "canceling" or not "renewing", either way DirecTV is not making OAN available. Therefore, I will not be "renewing" my subscription. But take comfort, DirecTV, I'm not canceling my service.

If they also start censoring and drop OAN, I also will be cancelling. Can we have nothing in this world that is not a political activist?   We only watch a few channels anyway. It will probably save me money.  

Nobody here knows why. Given AT&T's political bent, it's more likely a financial decision rather than a political decision. Of course, things could change between now and April when their contract would need to be renewed. 

Just read: U.S. satellite broadcaster DirecTV said on Friday it will drop far-right channel One America News (OAN) from its service when its contract expires, in a blow to the popular news network." which will happen in April.

Putting on record that when you cancel OAN, I will be cancelling my service with you.

Please start a file on how many customers are unhappy about this decision. Thank you.

Whoever is reporting that as a reason is only speculating. Directv has only stated they are not renewing the contract, they have not provided a reason. It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out, though. It’s not just false information on covid.

Actually could care less about their reasoning.  I've read, in reliable sources, that they are being pressured by a "couple" special interest groups. Irrelevant.  This person, me, will leave Direct TV should they cave into the anti free speech, left leaning, fear mongering ideologs that are trying to shut down anyone who may disagree with their point of view. Shameful. Anti American nonsense. OANN...the ONLY place I go for news.
