DIRECTV dropping OANN?

How could you bow down to the WOK cancel culture demands to dropping OANN?  They do not lie!  The "big lie of the 2020 election" is absolutely true. There is mountains of evidence of the election steal. All the misinformation comes from liberals not conservatives!  My husband and I will be dropping Directv if you go thru this in April. I will convince all our friends and family to do likewise. This is an attack on freedom of speech and our country. Shame on you!!!!

DIRECTV (AT&T) is bending the knee to the radical (Edited per community guidelines) agenda that wishes to silence any point of view that differs with them.

You have joined the cancel culture that is destroying this country. This is a very dangerous step that should not be tolerated by subsribers. There are plenty of alternatives for both streaming cell phone service.  Please vote with your dollars.

Certainly, vote with your wallet as you must. I do not comment on the wisdom of keeping OANN or not. However, I respectfully disagree about it being censorship.

All TV providers are free to pay and support for whatever channels they choose (provided they can get an agreement with them of course). Forcing them to renew an agreement and keep paying for OANN is not a good option as that removes their free choice.

Perhaps OANN should offer their broadcast to DirecTV for free to find some middle ground on this. Not saying that would work, but if DirecTV doesn't want to keep paying them then they don't have to, regardless of the preference of some customers.

As for me, I'm not dependent on any news channel in particular. Be it OANN or some other one, it is not something that would influence me to leave DirecTV. I respect it is more important for others.

If DirecTV doesn't want to pay for them anymore, and assumedly OANN wouldn't offer their broadcast for free (so it would be viewable without DirecTV financially supporting them), then what alternative could you suggest to find a compromise for both sides of this?

A message from DirecTV:

And coming up soon…

And they are adding CLEO TV: Cleo TV is an American cable television network owned by Urban One. The network serves young millennial and Generation X African American women

 

TV One: TV One's programming targets African American adults. Also owned by Urban One.

(Urban one :The company primarily operates media properties targeting African Americans)

That is why I gave myself the time to transition over to the streaming and the Tivo system.  I got the Pluto TV and I did subscribe to OANN $4.99 a month.  The Amazon firestick also has alot .Newsmax is on Pluto TV and Firestick as well as Sky News. I dont only watch OANN but Newsmax and Sky News.

I have to say that OANN does show allot of live hearings so people can see and hear for themselves what is going on and can decide on truth without talking heads telling them. 

Maybe that is the fear from some, that the people may see for themselves what is truly going on. OMG that frightens some politicians. ( and the corporate )

You are just one of many (Edited per community guidelines) businesses I will not support. Will be canceling prior to Apr 4th.  Haven't been satisfied with the programming and with OAN being canceled there's no longer a reason to stay with it. Bye.

If you want to cancel and to tell DirecTV the reason for doing so, call them. This is a public forum of mostly other customers.

DTV has no control over what a channel does with their programming.

Why in the world would Direct TV cancel one of the best shows on TV. This is where the actual NEWS is and not fake news. I will be cancelling my DIRECT TV and hope many others do too. This is shameful and disgusting to think Direct TV would decide what we can and cant watch. Why don't you get rid off CNN Fake news? The American people need to stand up to freedom of speech our first amendment and fight for our God given rights. The channels you offer are so bad for our young minds and now you take away the actual one channel that tells the news. Stay out of POLITICS and focus on finding some family channels that are acceptable for the young minds. 

Go Brandon!!!

good riddance.

What about OAN? Don’t care about any other programs. This is one of the best programs you carry. And don’t want to loose it.

What about it? It’s being dropped, the contract to carry it was not renewed. Last day is April 4. That was announced months ago.

If you only care about OANN and no other channel, than prepare to change providers. DirecTV announced months ago that they have chosen not to renew the carriage agreement. So OANN and DirecTV are parting ways shortly.

We plan to drop DTV April 4 if DTV drops OAN as planned. Does anyone know if negotiations are still open?

There are no ongoing negotiations. The decision to not renew the contract was announced months ago.

I am also dropping Directv if they don't CHANGE THEIR PLAN of dropping OAN, One America News. This news channel is one of the VERY FEW news channels that actually bring you the truth.......not the fake, censored garbage that almost every other channel (except for Newsmax) is feeding us!

There are no negotiations.  Make your plans for alternate television sources.  The 86-page thread that we have had where we were discussing this topic (and smaller threads were being merged into it up until recently) is now CLOSED so now the woke mods are going to have to close all of these other smaller threads, since we bother them over our love for this channel.  If I had more time to clear off my DVR, I'd have been out this past weekend but I am in it for another billing cycle now.  Pretty much will make my phone call around the 4th when OAN is no longer there...unplugging my equipment and handing it over to my neighbor who installs DTV.  If you want to read the original thread, here it is.  There is a lot of good information in there.  Best of luck to you with your decision!
