DIRECTV dropping OANN?

It’s definitely happening. April 4 is the last day. Bye, bye.

Do you need a safe place? Snowflake. 

Many of us have already cancelled. 

With our savings we're going to buy a bridge for the (Edited per community guidelines). 

Its all about keeping some political narrative.   

Read the letter to the CEO of AT&T from Congress member, Anna G. Eshoo. It is found on her official website. Why is Congress getting involved?

Read main forum which they just closed as it had too many complaints and they could not handle it.

Customers have started to received emails and DIRECTV officially announced the reason is OAN spreads disinformation.  Well I think the owner of CNN and DIRECTV (AT&T) needs to looks themselves in the mirror before accusing a legitimate news source of spreading disinformation.  

VIP502    Yep. You are absolutely right. The fees for OAN are SUBSTANTIALLY LESS than any other network. The Direct TV is bowing down to political pressure because they don't like what is being said.  Yet they keep cnn (so many (Edited per community guidelines)ual assault issues and worse, TWO well involved in the network production pedophiles who were grooming and paying for young girls aged around NINE YEARS old), and nbc who had brian williams who lied so many times like in a helicopter shot down etc, and authenticated hillary's fake story of running after landing during gun fire, .  And the continued lies of the steele dossier where the other networks just reported without verifying. Proved false. Yet the networks still propagandize it. Dropping OAN is NOT about BUSINESS or FEES. And doing so will costs them BUSINESS and their reputation.

OAN is another baloney generator like Faux News. TRumpanzees are crying that they are leaving DTV Stream but they are mentally flawed like their leader IQ45. 

No need to create multiple threads. Closing this thread.

Many of us here are extremely disappointed. 

Is Newsmax next?

It's very telling. 

Being straggled by poor service and product is awful. I moved from a city that great service to where I am now. Had two choices, att was one. It had terrible buffering issues, and long wait times get any help or someone on the phone. Then the 'special "  ads for $200 debit card arrived AFTER the expiration date and was told basically "too bad". Then of course, the costs went up A LOT . So I am saving money dropping direct-tv soon. I will miss some shows but I will enjoy the $150 savings. If I move again I will definitely make sure what provider is available. If limited to att as a choice, Nope, not buying there.

Regardless of the reason for the decision, it was DirecTV's to make. We as individual customers naturally do not have the option to speak to "someone in power" as it is not our place at the negotiating table between networks and the TV provider or to dictate what they are allowed to do.

Networks package those channels to the TV providers, resulting in that being the standard across the board. We as customers can pick the best fitting package and go from there. If you don't like any of the options then you seek elsewhere.

If you want OANN, you go with someone else. You want to have direct influence on the decision or see internal proprietary information, then you get a job with them. As customers we may have influence, but we do not own them.

Cancelling my Account when directv cancels OAN

Hey Jup, if we all shut down our accounts direct would listen $$$$ talks

Since they have been continuing ahead with their decision, apparently, they expect the closed accounts will be within acceptable losses. Time will tell if they calculated that correctly.

But if you want to shut down your account, then call them. Telling other forum users does nothing on your account.

We spoke with a very nice representative from the Retention/Loyalty Department. We explained our disappointment with DirecTV canceling OANN and said that is the reason we are cancelling our subscription to DirecTV. We are still customers until April 6. In our conversation we also stated that we really like DirecTV and hate to go but their decision to drop OANN is the deal breaker for us. Our service has been with DirecTV since Primestar, if anyone here remembers that. 

Most satellite/cable providers do not have OANN. You can always check their website for their availability.

@wpaint - try KlowdTV, the 2.50 per month option. They have OAN Plus at no charge, and actual OAN within the 2.50 per month option.

Juniper could've told you that, he knows all about it.

Incorrect. As I don't care if OANN stays or leaves, I have not bothered to compare pricing or how the specific in-depth options work. I simply looked up a list, provided by OANN themselves, on where they may be found as a courtesy. Those who truly want OANN will compare the pricing options for what feels right to them.

@wpaint - also, I dropped DirecTV over their decision to drop OAN. I'm saving a ton of money as well, I "cut the cord" and don't pay enormous fees to cable with two year contracts any more - I'm done with that. I'm now on a month-to-month with streaming services and loving it, I get KLOWDTV, FRNDLYTV, BRITBOX for the UK channels, and others. Loving it.  Also added a digital antenna for all the local news channels in high-def digital, including a slew of channels I never imagined were being broadcast where I live - in the DC / Baltimore metro area.  Saving money and loving life - and still watching OAN!

@wpaint Check out VuTVPlus.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised.  It seems many have chosen to ditch companies that silence / censor people based on political preferences. 

DTV is not renewing the contract.

Your question has been asked repeatedly since the dropping of OAN was announced months ago. Bottom line, you aren’t going to get an answer from Directv here other than what they’ve already published. Take your business elsewhere if you need to.

Yes I plan on moving from both AT&T & Direct TV. We have been a customer of both for well over 10 years & cannot support a hater of (Edited per community guidelines) organizations any longer. Same goes for Amazon (3rd party vendor), by local or use it to find the company & order directly from them.  Time to take a stand!

@chiefvickie 

It's unfortunate, but it looks like DirecTV's decision to cancel OAN will not be reversed. 

This is only a customer to customer forum and it has been my experience that no one from management comes here. You should call DirecTV's Loyalty Department 800-531-5000 to express your concern. They need to hear from you.
