It won't be back. Lots of discussion in the Community Lounge forum. DirecTV chose not to renew their contract. You'll need to find an alternate provider.

We have been talking about this for months on other closed threads: https://forums.directv.com/conversations/community-lounge/directv-dropping-oann/61e2fc1ff693d71b8f6f5cac

OANN and AWE was not renewed and removed. As far as I can tell it is not coming back. Thousands of DTV customers have also dropped DTV because of this. We have been discussing how the use of Over the Air (OTA) can give you allot of free TV. As well as the plethora of streaming apps such as Pluto TV, VUTV+, kloudTV, Prime TV and Firestick can provide many more options and for a fraction of the cost. Many are FREE.

DirecTV has failed to explain WHY it dropped OAN?
Many suggest that OAN is being run by woke, intolerant leftists who want to silence people who do not agree with progressive views.

Is it true that OAN is being run by woke, intolerant leftists who want to silence people who do not agree with progressive views?

Could it be that DirecTV and ATT are fearful of Trump's Greater America?

DIRECTV no longer has a carriage agreement with them. The expiration date was yesterday, April 5, 2022. This agreement also applies to AWE, the sister channel of OANN.

Why in the (Edited per community guidelines) did y’all remove One American News? This is the best news channel on tv. I will definitely be finding a new provider. If not I will cancel all together. I pay way to much for a (Edited per community guidelines) woke (Edited per community guidelines) network to censor what we watch.

DirecTV has chosen to not renew OANN's contract while retaining a plethora of barely viewed leftist (Edited per community guidelines) trash.

Someone makes these decisions, smacking more and more of outright censorship and I, for one, am heartily sick of it. Who do I contact to voice my views on this matter? Why is no department able to give your customers the answer to this simple question? Why are questions relegated to a "community-based forum" instead of to the area of your organization responsible? The entire organization seems, in fact, to be operating like some kind of secretive, shadow government instead of a consumer driven operation.

I have been a customer of DirecTV for over 25 years (half the time under my former married surname). I have never experienced a company that denied its clients the opportunity to make its opinions heard directly to the proper channels. One would think that a company relying 100% on providing what its customer base wants would grant access to customers to offer opinions on what they see. To not do so is worse than disgraceful.

I want contact information for the department/individuals who decree what is being given airtime. And I want OANN back!

unfortunately, there is not much you can do other than call DIRECTV and complain. If you contact OANN they can’t do much about it because DIRECTV was the mastermind behind canceling the carriage agreement or ‘renewal’ of OANN. Your only option is to cancel DIRECTV and choose a separate TV provider or streaming service that contains OANN. Worth mentioning that you can also watch OANN for free via their app

Thank you for saving me approx. $100.00 a month on my cable bill! You dropped OANN, I am dropping you (plus other AT&T services). I definitely won't miss the crap service during storms. Please save your insults and name calling responses.

Why would you drop OAN news from your lineup? It is our "go to" channel for news! It is the only news channel in your lineup that is reliable to have correct news and not someone's opinion of the news. This is very upsetting. Please bring it back right away! We really like your service and would hate to have to switch to another company.

From what I understand, OANN was cancelled by Directv for promoting the opinion that the 2020 election was stolen. If that is the case, will you also now cancel CNN, MSNBC, and FSTV for promoting the debunked Russia collusion (Edited per community guidelines) and these same networks for stifling the Hunter Biden laptop story? Sadly, I think you will not do this. As such, I ask that you return OANN to the lineup.

AT&T/DirecTV announced months ago that when the carriage agreement came up that they would part ways with OANN. If you want to watch it, you will need to find another option.

They announced a few months ago that they would part ways with OANN once the current carriage agreement completed.

Regardless of your payment, channels may change at any time. Like other TV providers, they have a clause in the Terms of Service that states this.

As for the why, the official reason is that it is the result of an "internal review". However, per other sources, many are convinced that it was politically influenced. Whether they are correct or not doesn't change that AT&T/DirecTV still made a decision that was their right to do so.

You will need to seek out another option to watch OANN.

I agree this was a bad decision. OAN is certainly a right-side source, but MSNBC and CNN are certainly equally left-sided. I chose to stay with DirecTV and not move to one of the many other streaming options because they offered both left and right oriented channels, and it's important to hear both sides. With this move, DirecTV is clearly indicating their intentions to move to the left. With so many choices available, and more coming, I and others I know will be leaving DirecTV, and have already begun subscribing to other services' trial periods. I've been a DirecTV customer for well over a decade; it was a good run while it lasted.
