Why is Directv supporting a Russian Television network?

Did they not put in their contract that if Russia invades another country with NO legitimate reason then they could stop broadcasting??

I am very happy that ATT/Directv is NOT renewing their contract with OANNews.  It is only a (Edited per community guidelines) network for the GOP.

It cannot happen soon enough.

TV provider has a carriage agreement with a network.

They are contractually obligated to carry network to the end of it.

When agreement comes up, they could choose not to renew the agreement.

We don't know when the agreement ends, but they tend to be multi-year.

I highly doubt invasion (for any reason) was part of a carriage agreement of a TV channel. But that is my opinion as I do not have access to it. It just seems far fetched to me.
