PLEASE add the cable channel WOW PRESENTS PLUS to the DirecTV lineup

I spoke to one of your representatives yesterday and am very surprised and disappointed to discover that WOW PRESENTS PLUS is not offered on DIRECTV. 

You have carried RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE since Season 1 on Logo, VH1 and Paramount +. What started as a quirky little show has grown into a worldwide phenomenon. In addition to the US, there are now RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE U.K., Canada, Down Under (Australia), Italy, Spain, France, Thailand, Holland and the upcoming DRAG RACE Philippines. They are all, including a myriad of other shows, exclusively on WOW PRESENTS PLUS. DRAG RACE UK aired its first season on Logo (I believe it was Logo) but subsequent seasons are only available on WOW Present Plus. Like OWN (the Oprah Winfrey Network). World of Wonder (WOW) was created to handle all things RUPAUL. Here is the current lineup on WOW PRESENTS PLUS:

I am happy, and so are many others, to pay the additional $4.99 per month to watch this additional channel, but first DIRECTV has to add it to your lineup! There are millions of RuPaul and RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE fans, like myself, who pay a significant amount of money each month for DIRECTV. PLEASE add WOW PRESENTS PLUS to your lineup as soon as possible!

This is a public forum of other customers, so we cannot make any decisions on channels DirecTV chooses to carry. Though they have no such request process, so I guess here is good enough as any.

I contacted DIRECTV yesterday and the gentleman I spoke with directed me here to this forum location.

That was a case of the agent just getting you off the phone. We can provide guidance and answers on many things, some from us who are very experienced, but we have no way to influence DirecTV to make any changes.

In most cases the + denotes that it is a streaming program that needs you to subscribe to it and if your TV doesn't have the app or can't download it from your TV app's store you need the proper streaming device connected to the TV.  DTV has nothing to do with streaming services.

Yes, this is s streaming service that you have to subscribe to. Look at their web site, it's $50 per year. Nothing to do with directv satellite or direct tv stream.

Ahh, the PLUS (or +). That means it is a streaming-only service provided by the network and is not available through any provider. That means DirecTV cannot carry it as is for streaming-only. And DIRECTV STREAM cannot carry it either because the PLUS (or +) denotes a standalone streaming service.

Sorry but you have to get the channel through the owner and not a TV provider.
