Why do we have to opt in for A+E Networks, History Channel and Lifetime

Do we now have to opt in for my favorite A+E channels???
I don’t understand this - I already pay for these and have always had them??? I saw a senator today  on twitter saying #DirectTV fees were going way up to keep access to History Channel and suggesting we switch to Dish.

I would not be a happy customer if this is true. Please clarify what’s going on with History, Lifetime and all of my favorite A&E network programming. is this affecting WWE events and A&E Specials too?

Some customers with low to no viewership of the A&E channels (A&E, VICE, History, Lifetime) will have it removed from their Select or Entertainment DIRECTV base package.

 

 

This is because we regularly make changes to plans and pricing across our video products.  The A&E channels will be removed to impacted accounts or if opted in they will be kept at no additional charge.

DTV collects anonymous viewing data from all internet connected receivers same as all TV providers and use it to decide where the channel will be place in the packages.
