THE main reason we took out an account with DIRECTV (back then AT&T) was to be able to watch OAN.  Why would you cancel them?  Do you have any idea how difficult it is to actually find out what is going on in our country with all of the misinformation coming from CNN, MSNBC, ABC, etc?!!!  You are making a serious error.  FREE SPEECH is part of our American Bill of Rights.  Why would you plan to shut down the BEST news organization out there?  When and if you do, we will be canceling our subscription.  Please rethink this marxist decision coming from your leadership!

...with DIRECTV (back then AT&T)

DirecTV has always been DirecTV even when AT&T acquired them. I believe you are referring to DIRECTV STREAM which used to be called AT&T TV or AT&T TV NOW, and before that DIRECTV NOW. Naturally all that has caused confusion.

The decision has already been made. DirecTV and DIRECTV STREAM are both not renewing the carriage agreement with OAN. It will remain for the time being to finish out the current agreement. If you wish to cancel, you must call them to do so.

This is not a violation of Free Speech. There is no requirement that DirecTV pay and carry any given channel. As a business they can choose what networks they negotiate with.
