This is just a public forum of other customers. Whatever agreement settled between DIRECTV and NewsMax is beyond our knowledge as customers. All we can do is wait until tomorrow.
If it is indeed dropped, you can cancel by calling in (number in my greeting below) and saying ‘cancel’ to the robot. All leased equipment gets returned to a participating FedEx or UPS location with your account number. Be sure to keep the receipt given to you by the clerk so you can avoid the possibility of an equipment non return fee (ERF) as you now have proof of return.
Additionally, if you are somehow still locked into a contract, DIRECTV will charge you $20 for every month left. This is known as the early termination fee (ETF). These are restarted when you add/upgrade to new equipment or move services to another address. If you haven’t done this within e last 2 years, you should be good to cancel without the fee.
But the agent you speak to will not give you an avenue to express your views to anyone at Direct TV who can actually effect the outcome. It is just a dead end so DTV doesn't have to deal with it
DirecTV- please don't make me cancel my account because you are planning on deleting Newsmax. DO NOT CANCEL THE ONLY NEWS STATION I WATCH ON DIRECTV. I will do it, I promise.
For persons in more rural areas, broad band may be difficult. It may be a choice of working from home or using bandwidth to stream TV. Likewise, why would one have DTV if one lived in an urban area where cable and internet are easily available. So this hits rural areas harder than urban areas.
Please add Newsmax back to listings on Directv. If this does not occur, I will have to consider dropping Directv and starting streaming all of my TV entertainment.

DO NOT DROP NEWSMAX
NEWSMAX IS THE ONLY CHANNEL ON DIRECTV THAT TELLS THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTRY.

Newsmax offers the same live content free with their streaming app. Why would you pay to receive it?
