DirecTV cancelling Newsmax

NewsMax is full of lies.

DirecTV forums are here:

http://forums.directv.com

But the message on my U-Verse screen says you can watch their drivel for free. Why would you want to pay?

Very disappointed that Newsmax has been removed.   First One American News and now this.   I have my home phone, cell phones, uverse tv, and internet all through AT&T but am looking at alternatives today for all of these services

These aren't the DirecTV forums.

You didn't know you can watch for free via their website.

Wrong forum 

U-Verse wasn't around 25 years ago.

Moving to UVERSETV forum si ce this has nothing to do with internet.

I was an AT&T employee 41 years and had family employed there also.  I can not believe you would remove NewsMax.  I thought AT&T had more morals and values but I was wrong.  I guess we will all have to find another carrier.

Not sure who closed your thread but no, ATT no longer owns HBO or CNN. They are part of Warner Media which ATT got rid of. You won’t be punishing ATT or Directv by cancelling HBO. Your thread was closed I presume because this is the wrong forum. There is a Directv forum, if you wish to comment on Newsmax, you should post there, though I wouldn’t bother. There are so many Newsmax posts that many of them are being closed. Anyway, the Directv forums are at:

I believe Ottopylot knows more than you, see above.  ATT still owns 30% of DirectV.  How much are MSNBC and CNBC paying DirectV to carry their channels?  We are only asking for EQUITY!!!!

@LizF. Why aren't you posting in the DirecTV forum?

Also....why is this rant in the HBOMax forum?  

In a joint press release on Monday, AT&T and Discovery announced that WarnerMedia would be spun off and merged with Discovery to create a new stand-alone company. The combination would result in a content powerhouse and one of the largest global streaming players….including, HBO & CNN...Under the terms of the agreement, which will require regulatory approval, AT&T would receive $43 billion, and its shareholders would own 71% of the new company.

You are only communicating with other customers here, not ATT. If you want to leave, leave. No one cares what your reason is. Your threat means nothing here.

....and I'm going to ADD a couple of lines to my wireless account as a big "Thank You".  😝😝😝

Exactly. That's why I'll leave. Thanks for your inciteful comment.

@OttoPylot Apparently, Directv has not paid Newsmax anything to carry them. Now Newsmax wants them to. It would appear Directv considers any cost unreasonable but who knows. Like you said, it’s a business decision. My understanding is they are still negotiating but we don’t know if it was Directv that pulled the channel or if it was Newsmax. Historically Directv is willing to continue carrying a channel while they negotiate. It’s usually the channel that pulls their feed, not Directv.

It was DirecTV who pulled the plug on the 4th most watched cable news network, while they continue to pay less popular networks more than NEWSMAX asked for. Just a bit too fishy for me. But they are a private company.  Do what's best for shareholders, of course.

Wah.

It's free via their website, snowflake.

Do NOT drop Newsmax! You dropped them. You did NOT do it as a typical business/money decision. Your company is Not allowing FREE SPEECH and Freedom of the Press. You are UNAMERICAN and deserve a huge boycott against ATT to let you feel the consequences. I will communicate to as many people, friends and family as possible to tell them to DROP ATT & DIRECT TV.

NewsMax is still free to report as they wish.

Therefore, their freedom is NOT being suppressed, snowflake.

I wrote the following over a year ago…but ran across these words again and felt the need to share once more…as the idjits and trolls have been relentlessly attacking me and anyone else who is fighting to bring awareness to the real truth…instead of the asinine manipulative inversions these narcopaths RELENTLESSLY keep spewing!

So here it is:

Our freedoms have been...and will continue to be...taken away if we continue to stand idly by.

In case you didn’t know....

There are six companies that control well over 90% of all the media in America.

Nearly everything you’ve been fed since 2000 has pretty much come from (and these companies are not in any particular order): CBS, Time Warner, GE, News-Corp, and...in my mind the most influential of all——Disney.

***To provide a bit of perspective here... 50 companies owned 90% of the media in 1983.***

That having been said....

I encourage everyone reading these words to do their own research...if you haven’t already been doing so.

I cannot stress enough that there is a hidden agenda being played out right in front of everyone’s eyes...one so sinister that if you haven’t already been doing your own digging...well...let’s just say please be prepared for a wild ride!

These manipulative inversions are pathetic at best...and being exposed faster than these asshats can continue to cover them!

The rabbit hole runs deep, my friends.....

Just know that it’s important to always remain positive and faithful...and trust that “good” always triumphs in the end!

Stay Strong

Oh….

For the “woke” nincompoops on here stating to go get the app… You are part of the sinister problem…and obviously missing the point as to why this is part of a much larger evil agenda.

PS….

I will be switching to Verizon soon!

@gpburnette   Your commentary might be better served in the DirecTV forum

This is the wrong forum. Closing this thread. As noted above, post in Directv forum.

Wrong forum. Digital Life is a retired home security product and has nothing to do with Newsmax or Directv. Closing thread.
