Possible Cancellation of OAN and NEWSMAX Channels in the near Future ?

Hello,

I was just curious if there were any rumors floating around about a possible cancellation of the OAN and/or NEWSMAX channels from Directv subscription services in the near future ?  I would be very disappointed with AT&T if that did happen ! Has anyone heard ?

Thank you,

Roger

Yes, there are rumors but no provider including DTV can drop a channel until the contract runs out.

Rumours floating around? Well yes per the nature of rumors.


However nothing official or tangible info has come into light on this. All that can be expected is that at a minimum the channels will still be here for as long as their is a carriage agreement in effect. When that ends, I do not know.

Just another new independent poster here... motivated by OAN's "Call to Action" from February 13, 2021 to thank DirecTV-ATT for carrying the OAN broadcast. I guess I will reach out to DirectTV via 800 number 1-800-531-5000 and ATT via theirs 1-800-288-2020 to verbally express my thanks.  No news on any changes... and hopefully there will be none.

Here's a writeup of the network.  In truth, it is a low budget, tiny little network trying to make more money any way they can.  Google it yourself if you want the facts. 

IN OAN’S SEVENTH YEAR of operation, many of the basic aesthetic trappings of a national network are still missing. The lighting in shots is often flat; cameras are out of focus. The sound is off, with airy room tone and microphones placed too far away from those talking. Scripts contain poor grammar, and presenters stumble over their words, even in recorded segments that could have been reshot. (The network hires for experienced news positions on Craigslist.) And the reason the network goes by both OAN and OANN is because oann.com was the cheaper URL. ~Columbia Journalism Review.

Thread is from months ago and has not produced anything productive. If you don't like the channels then hide them in your Favorites list and watch something else.
