DIRECTV dropping OANN?

DirecTV announced late last year that would not renew the contract. This topic is being discussed in the Community Lounge forum.

It was removed because the contract expired and Directv chose not to renew it.

Why was OAN removed?

AT&T/DirecTV decided from an "internal review" that they were not going to renew the carriage agreement. So once the current agreement ended then OANN went away. There are beliefs/theories, both on the forum and elsewhere, that this was encouraged by outside influence.

As this is not an airport, your departure notice does nothing. This is a public forum of other customers. You must call DirecTV if you wish to cancel.

Contract was intentionally allowed to expire and will not be renewed. Sorry, it’s not coming back.

LOL. Get over it. U can watch the OAN app if you want to watch conspiracy theories and lies. I mean you created a profile on this forum just to whine about this? Pathetic. Get some help, you belong to a cult.

Then cancel. It's not coming back. The contract was not renewed. As hard as it may be it's time to move on. There options in you require the content from OAN but it want be from the DirecTV satellite or the DirecTV Stream services. 

Where is OAN??? Hoe dare you cut them out..I hope you lose many mnay user's ..taking our rights as FREE Americans ...your time is coming 

We were the first to use Direct Tv i n our area and the very first to get rid of you....MORE will do so watch your numbers go doan only Marxtists (Edited per community guidelines) want Fox or OAn gone bc they are the truth purveyor's and CNN is far from it is has lied and lied and been caught time and time again..but then The Dem party are liars and Republicans like Mitt Romney etc RHINO liars are just as guilty..See I am NOT predujiced just want our Jounalist and Politicians to do truth pills for a change instead of doping up...

DTV decided not to renew the contract that ended in April.

They did not take your rights. There is no constitutional or other right that means you must have OANN.

As is their right, AT&T/DirecTV decide to not renew the carriage agreement. They will no longer support OANN financially. This was announced months ago.

If you cannot live and survive without OANN, then you are free to choose another provider that has them. Be aware the choices on that are few.

Pay TV is an entertainment business. There is no obligation or inherent right that you are given any particular channel. AT&T/DirecTV acted within their rights. Yours were not violated in the process, not matter how much you protest and brag about being the "first". Well as thousands/millions were aware within the last few months, you somehow achieved being one of the last to find out until well after the parting of ways completed.

FACT: DIRECTV is being brought to court by OAN for violating FAA rules, participating in partisan politics, and violating their contract agreement.  The complaint is published on the OAN website.  All should read it… it’s eye opening and something the main stream media won’t cover. 

The biggest concern from the many who have canceled DIRECTV as a result is the fact DirecTV profited by carrying OAN but chose to cancel it for politcal purposes.  

DTV didn't renew the contract so doubt it will be back.

We all know really why they cancelled the contract. It is playing politics and censorship of 1st Amendment.

Well after two decades cumulatively, I cancelled my direct tv subscription a few days ago. but agreed to let it continue until the end of this month's billing cycle on the 27th, to give me time to find a different service provide.

for those who may be in the same boat. Frontier is carrying OAN & Verizon is their parent company, so they may as well. plus, the app tv service called "Kloud Tv" has OAN as well. 

I have heard reports that the OAN live app is buggy right now. which seems reasonable, since they only had two months' notice that their contract wasn't going to be renewed.

so, by for now direct tv, maybe someday AT&T's financial woes will end up setting you free in a sale or even just end up letting you go back on your own.

AT&T lost my cell phone service years ago because of poor service & high fees.

now they lose my tv too, good riddance. so, no paying service to a company that doesn't respect its customers.

which means NO HBO or CNN Plus either. It should be called CNN minus with their number of subscribers, LOL. Cya

Service continues through the end of the service month. You cannot agree to anything different as it is mandatory.
