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!!!!

We will be cancelling our account if OAN is dropped. It's time that we do like the liberals and band together. Maybe a million cancellations at $200/month will get management's attention!

With all of the various options today, perhaps it's time to leave DirecTv after over 20 years as a customer.

I have been a customer since 1993, and am very disappointed when you keep dropping channels that we enjoy. Why would you drop OAN? Why not CNN? Everyone needs to hear both sides of politics, not just one. If OAN is dropped, we will be dropping our service. You continue to drop stations, and keep raising your prices. Not worth it to us.

They are dropping it due to political reasons thanks to pressure from activist groups.

Use DuckDuckGo for this search, and search for this minus the quotes: "att restores oann"

As you will see, there are countless articles from activist groups along with some MSM like Reuters demanding that DirecTV drops OANN. Many of the articles are from 2021 and earlier. The group "CommonDreams" is the main coalition of agitators/self proclaimed activists behind it.

This pressure ramped up even more beginning around Nov 2021 and has not ceased.

The political aspect of this censorship is entirely about creating a echo chamber, where subscribers are forced to have only 1 viewpoint to choose from if they want to hear anything news related.

If it was a business decision and not political, then CNN would also be cut as it has seen a 90% drop in ratings compared to this same month last year. It is deadweight for every network to carry at this point.

Rand Paul did a great job crunching the numbers about this.

He argues with facts so yes, he is credible. Can't say the same for his political counter parts. Especially the ones who backed up the obvious lie that Jussie Smollett tried to pull, and one of them is now VP.

@OttoPylot:

"Verizon, CenturyLink, or KlowdTV still carry OAN, so far, so you do have choices".....

Really? Choices? The question should be why is it so few choices. Could it be to control the narrative? Hmm. Yes. Yes it is! 

Control of the media and the stream of information was one of (Edited per community guidelines)'s tactics. It doesn't take a genius to connect the dots here.

Good point streamer22. Allegedly the dentist didn't know how to change the channel the other day. It was on CNN which is everywhere. We just had him turn the tv off. He did, and it was a much better visit...for a dentist visit anyway.

After being a subscriber for years I will be pulling my subscription if OANN is pulled from the satellite lineup.

I was an employee at Hughes Communication Inc. back in the early 90's and helped develop DirectV as a business, was involved with Beta Testing and the initial rollout of DirecTV.  I have been a customer since the beginning...  

Letting you know, if OAN is removed from programming, I will be dropping DirecTV service and will advise anyone and everyone I know to do the same.

Please do not cancel One America News.  It is one of our favorite programs.  I have been with Direct many years and do not want to have to switch to Spectrum.  But I will.

There are quite a few responses on this topic and I do believe in a way that we’re just “preaching to the choir.”

I recommend calling DTV customer service, granted, it’ll someone who barely can speak English and is at a computer screen 8,000 miles away but, maybe, the calls might be correlated and DTV could see the potential bow wave of persons leaving if OAN is removed from their lineup.

There is rumor that you will be discontinuing One America News Network.  If and when you do, I will discontinue my subscription with you.

I called DirecTV and they told me that the call center has nothing to do with programming. They told me to go on the website. If anyone knows how to contact them about programming please post it here. I could find nothing except how to troubleshoot your DVR,etc.

I am a directv customer for more than 20 years and have 2 separate accounts, one under my name, the other under my husband. I am going to cancel both my 2 directv accounts the same day that they drop OANN. And I will check all my other accounts to make sure any business I do through AT&T is canceled and terminated.

I have been a DirecTV subscriber for many years now and have learned that You might be cancelling the OAN Network? If that happens, I will definitely be cancelling my account with DirecTV.  I know that there are a lot of other subscribers who feel the same way. Please do not let this happen.

I will be canceling as well. I don't need any CEO to try and control what I watch. They are suppose to host channels that reports the news. AT&T does not get to decide what is misinformation. News channels should report the news based on what's happening. Networks shouldn't give their opinion.
