Please get Newsmax back. Balance your news sources. Loosing OAN and Newsmax in a bad call and makes DTV unbalanced!

I am a decades long customer who is genuinely interested in all perspectives to help shape my view of our world, in an attempt to find the evasive TRUTH. We need a balance of beliefs, opinions and news sources available. NOT just one side. I watch ALL sides of the news… from MSNBC and CNN to OAN and Newsmax.  Loosing OAN and Newsmax in a bad decision and makes DTV unbalanced!  Given the popularity of Newsmax and their volume of viewers, this move is not in your customers best interest. 
We are currently looking for the best replacement for your services. (Both DTV and AT&T). 
I truly hope you reverse this bad decision prior to our exit along with thousands of others.

Not going to happen. It's over. Time to move on. There are options available - even free.

They didn't simply lose both channels. With OAN, the decision was made (months in advance which they announced) to not renew the carriage agreement when it expired. So that was a solid parting of ways.

Newsmax on the other hand, they were negotiating with. They couldn't find an agreement that satisfied both. Since the carriage agreement ended, has been several days since any positive update, and a new conservative channel (The First) seems to be in its place, it is extremely unlikely Newsmax will return.

For those two channels you will need to seek an alternative to watch them.

You can still watch Newsmax for free if you are able to stream.  They have their own app and you can watch it for free.  As we are all just customers we would have no clue if Directv or Newsmax will ever come to an agreement but many people would really like it if they could bring Newsmax back even tho they did replace it with another channel that Directv feels is comparable but many have complained that it is not very good.
