Newsmax- cnn

The bottom line is, you can get it free with the app and on some services, so why should DirecTV and us as customers have to pay for it? 

I was amazon fire stick .... new max ,  other news channels all of them .

@j_cat unable to comprehend your comment.

No one here knows what Directv pays for CNN and whatever they pay is likely not just for CNN. CNN is owned by WarnerMedia, so whatever Directv pays is probably for the entire package of WarnerMedia owned channels.

well my DTV is old 2005 and the channels are very good . now in todays world the channels are breaking down ...video and the sound distortion c span other channels . the 160 bucks now is the cost . I was the verizon fios internet . the internet speed is great .... now the verizon is 110 bucks 425 channels look I was investing the verizon to change around in the spring . then the DTV is a variation and the verizon testing .the verizon is  using the tv ... then the verizon was  tv was removed it and the cost was no issues and no cost .... I was inspecting it !

You need an English lesson. Hardly understandable. Read your post and try to repost so someone can understand.

While none of us have access to DirecTV's negotiations, the above is typically the case when it comes to negotiations.

A company sits down with a provider.

Company: "We have these channels. Do you want them?"

Provider: "Yes. How much do we have to pay?"

Company: "Prices for each channel are as follows. Each channel must be made available to X% of subscribers as follows."

This is why certain channels such as MTVU or ESPN Deportes aren't available to all subscribers whereas channels like MTV, VH1 and ESPN generally are.

The company that owns NewsMax has two factors working against it:

1) They don't own any other channels. If they did, the whole bundle of channels would be offered in the same negotiation. Some channels would be more popular than others.

2) The company that owns NewsMax is legally offering their product for free without any sort of registration required. If I was offering my channel for free and wanted you to pay money for it, why should you pay when there's legal (and free) alternatives?

yes the DTV is not working of the messages to the posting of the sat receiver ..

the DTV is the costing of the $$$  to the channels ...

Your comments are just not understandable. Try reading back before you post. Totally incomplete conversation.
