DIRECTV dropping OANN?

They closed our 86 page thread that was in effect for the past 2+ months.  They don't care if they are losing customers over this.  I'm out before my next billing cycle hits, still clearing off my DVR (up to 91% free now) and have my alternates already in place.  Have OAN on my DVR all the time unless I'm watching a recorded program or occasionally flip to another channel.  I've been considering dropping DTV but since they have OAN, I've stayed but this is the last straw.  You can find OAN on KlowdTV if you have a Firestick or Roku, and their website also offers a streaming service.

Here is the original thread that they just closed recently.  There is a lot of good info in there: https://forums.directv.com/conversations/community-lounge/directv-dropping-oann/61e2fc1ff693d71b8f6f5cac

I agree. The AMerican People deserve better than this in America.

Because you can choose your provider, this is not censorship. Nothing requires DirecTV to continue doing business with OANN. They have opted to part ways upon the current carriage agreement ending. If that is too much for you to handle, then certainly find another option you like that has OANN.

Only if DirecTV filtered the feed that OANN sent to them would it be censorship.

Totally agree!

Agree. I am disgusted at the cancel culture in America and that ATT is contributing to it.  CNN and MSNBC literally lie all the time and pretend they are news channels when they simply do the bidding of the DNC.  This has been proven repeatedly. 

OAN tries to counter the main stream news (Edited per community guidelines) and offer a different perspective, and they do not spew lies even though the uneducated like to pretend  otherwise. 
Those that cancel are afraid of the truth and networks like OAN. 

My family will be moving service to another provider very soon. Why would DirectTV remove a newsworthy channel with millions of followers over a failing (Edited per community guidelines) channel like CNN, MSNBC< NBC< ABC<CBS and others that don't have as near the followers if you added them all together? The American People want the TRUTH and all you are doing is cancelling our (Edited per community guidelines) views and the Truth. The American people will have the last say in this. Better inform your share holders in advance. Are you not providing service to ALL people? 

My family agrees with you. We are gone and lots of people I know are too. If they choose a (Edited per community guidelines) arm of the corrupt radical left, the they do not want us American patriots that love America and want the TRUTH.

Why are you getting rid of real news , OANN 
why not cancels CNN or MSNBC ? 

together that don’t match OANN viewer ship and THEY DO NOT TELL THE TRUTH 

I agree. The American people will have the last say on the future of AT&T

Good for you DTV Stream. OAN is garbage and so is Fox News which will be next to go !!!

With decisions like this, AT&T has a bright future!!!

Adios!!!

Without OAN, there is no point in keeping DTV..

Dropping OANN is a big mistake!  You are going to lose many customers including us!

We are a 15+ year AT&T customer and now you will be cancelling our DirectTV subscription, our AT&T Internet and our AT&T Cell phone.  

I hope it's worth it.

We pay our bills on time for years.  And yet will invest money on channels we are not asking for and force the Hollywood entertainment crap channels on us but you WON'T give us the one channel we want..OANN.
  

Let's see how that works for you.  Not only are you losing a customer, we are going to be switching to your competition.  

You can say it's because of contracts but we all know it's because you don't want the ONLY CREDIBLE news channel to have the viewership it does going into elections. 

I encourage everyone to make your voices heard.  A service technician told me they are required to log calls and complaints.  Flood them with our voice and displeasure at losing OAN!

Good luck DirectTV!  

Why would you drop one of the fastest growing cable news networks!  One America News is a straightforward, honest news network with integrity.  

Why don't you get rid of CNN, one of the most dishonest networks with ratings that have been in the toilet for a long time!

Please feel free to let your AT&T bosses know that I will be looking for other alternatives for my internet, wireless as well as my TV service.

Or you can change your minds and tell AT&T to stop the virtue signaling.

These big dogs wince when they lose one customer on one service. What will they do when hundreds of customers pull the ATT plug for all their services? They must have some deep pockets lined up to bail them out.

Tonight we called to cancel our subscription to DirecTV. We were offered a $600.00 savings over our next year's billing. We declined. We will be on until April 6. 

Our household feels the same way.  Get rid of OANN and you get rid of us.

We are a 15+ year AT&T customer and now you will be losing our TV subscription, our Internet and our Cell phone.

Our household feels the same way.  They are silencing the OAN voice.  I don't see anything happening to CNN or MSNBC!  Garbage TV.  

We are a 15+ year AT&T customer and if OAN goes away we will pull our DirectTV subscription, our Internet and our Cell phone. 

If Dish or another provider is smart they will offer OAN because many of us will migrate there!

We are one small voice but we are not going to stand by and take this.  

I encourage everyone to make your voices heard.  A service technician told me they are required to log calls and complaints.  Flood them with our voice and displeasure at losing OAN!

It's good to know my family isn't alone!

We are doing the same thing!  

We feel they are shutting down this channel because they don't want it airing during mid-term election time.  

We will be leaving if they don't change this policy.  

I just spoke to a Direct TV customer service and he made it sound like it's not a done deal.  I don't know if I believe him.

DirecTV is cowering to left leaning influence such as a letter from two members of Congress, Anna Eshoo and Jerry McNerney, both Democrats from California, in which they ask AT&T:"Are you planning to continue carrying Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN on U-verse, 
DirecTV, and AT&T TV both now and beyond any contract renewal date? If so, why?"

It was for us too. The last day OAN is going to be broadcast on DirecTV is April 4, 2022. For that reason our subscription to DirecTV is ending on the 6th. We called the Retention/Loyalty Department with our decision. DirecTV has been our provider since they purchased Primestar. Of course they made a very nice offer to keep us but we declined. Dropping OANN is the dealbreaker for us.
