DirecTV pays these fees for the ClintonNewsNetwork (CNN), MSNBS (MSNBC), FoxNews, and other channels. Why are you throwing a fit when your #2 News Channel wants to get the same treatment? Negotiate and get NewsMax back on the air. I’m gonna wait 7 days, and then I’m canceling my 19 year DirecTV service. TIK TOK TIK TOK!
Its not a direct attack, but rather NewsMax offering carriage fees for programming that can be received for free online. DIRECTV doesn’t want to pay the fee or pass it onto the customer so the channel has been removed. No one here knows when it will return (if at all) since we are just customers on a FORUM.
I’m giving DirecTV 7 days, from 01/24/23, to put NewsMax back on the air. If they do not, then I’m canceling DirecTV, which I’ve had for 19+ years, and I’m moving 4 cellphones to T-Mobile. I’ve had my AT&T cellular account for more than 30 years.
If DirecTV can pay the fees in question, for CNN and MSNBS, then they can pay them for their #2 News channel. Otherwise it just proves DirecTV has gone WOKE and is censoring the content on their channel lineup.
To say the reason is due to NewsMax having a free streaming site is an absolute lie. The only reason for At&T/Direct removing NewsMax is political. They have not cancelled CNN, MSNBC or other left wing news channels, check your app store and you will find these are also free to watch.
I signed up for Direct Stream just over a month ago only after I researched to find they had NewsMax as a new channel. If you take away my news channel, then reduce what I am paying a month or BRING BACK NEWSMAX!!!
Agreed....many stations have free options....why not drop everything to make cheaper than by directv logic. I will be switching to dish. Dropping Oann was first issue. Somehow no liberal station is being dropped. They could easily drop bet for being racist.
The DirecTV’s claim that both NewsMax and One America News were removed as a “cost-cutting measure” is false. NewsMax was only seeking $1 a year per cable subscriber. This is a significantly smaller price compared to liberal news outlets that the company airs. DirecTV pays MSNBC $8 per cable subscriber and they pay CNN around $12. Most of the 22 liberal news channels that they provide make more than Newsmax, even though they have much lower ratings.
This is the big problem we have…people making excuses for why ‘BIG TECH’ and other ‘WOKE’ companies are pushing censorship on ALL of America. Until everyone starts seeing it for what it is, we aren’t gonna stop it. And don’t think the tables can’t be turned.

DirecTV wasn't paying anything for NewsMax before, so why should they pay now? Folks can stream NewsMax for FREE.
