OMG!!! Why does DirecTV have to change both NEWS MIX CHANNELS, 71 AND 200 TO BE THE SAME!

Why did both channels 71 and 200 have to be changed to Election HQ????? I WANT TO WATCH ALL 6 CHANNELS!  I'M IN FLORIDA!  WE ARE WATCHING A POTENTIAL HURRICANE TO HIT OUR EAST COAST!  JUST CHANGE ONE OF THE CHANNELS TO ELECTION HQ AND LEAVE THE OTHER WITH THE 6 CHANNELS!  YES, I AM ANGRY THAT DIRECTV DOES THIS!  THAT IS WHY I AM IN ALL CAPS!   STOP CHANGING THINGS!  GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
