rate reduction for loss of OAN Network.

Do you really think that ONE channel out of tens of hundreds of DIRECTV channels will lower the rate? Sorry, but that won't make the cut. If DIRECTV stopped their carriage agreement with the Viacom channels, then your question would be valid. However, the loss of one channel won't magically lower rates.

Why can't you just answer in a polite manner? If you don't want to answer a question, skip over it and let someone else do it.

You get billed on a 30 day cycle. So let's say you're on the entertainment package at 69.99. That's 65 channels divided by the monthly rate. That's 1.0767, or 1 dollar. So yeah, I'm sure you can get a credit for a dollar 🤣🤣🤣

@Tired_of_technology  and @HaroldP .

According to Tired's math, rounded up of course, that should be a savings of a whopping $2.16! 

Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that and besides, DTV added some channels to the lineup, too.

Mr. 254, I don't believe I receive tens of hundreds of channels; and I doubt you do either.  However, if something was in the package when I subscribed to it why am I required to pay the same fee if the package no longer offers "what I bargained for"?

DirecTV, like all TV providers, have a clause that programming (channels and their content) is subject to change ant any time. There is no expectation this would cause a lowering of rates.

As networks do increase their costs to TV providers year after year, the result is that their operating costs go up. Theirs goes up and then so does our bill. When networks do not get the prices they want, they pull the channel (as is their right). Think of Viacom in the last decade which went through 2 big negotiations for all the channels they own (the 2nd one was a bit easier for us customers).

There are hundreds of local channels, plus the the various Regional Sport Networks (RSNs), that are provided to specific areas that not everyone gets. Yes "tens of hundreds" would be an exaggeration, but the point is that a single channel going away is dwarfed in comparison to the costs all the other networks keep increasing.

The simple answer is OANN going away does not lower your bill one cent.
