DirecTV cancelling Newsmax

Long time customer of both Directv and AT&T. I have already canceled Directv service for other reasons, but would again, still be canceling Directv service for canceling Newsmax. The promotion of Woke ideology and unfair opposition to (Edited per community guidelines) thought is bad enough, but the double standard and strong support that both AT&T and Directv provide to (Edited per community guidelines) programming and to other, less viewership channels is a violation of free speech and poor business practice. If this isn't quickly resolved to include Newsmax programming at a fair and equitable fee, I will be canceling my AT&T service as well.

Hey, 

I have been an AT&T U Verse customer for ten years and I am angry with the withdrawal of Newsmax and One America News from your Programming lineup.

This affects me unlike your removal of other channels over the years. If this program cancellation isn't reversed, I will be changing my TV service to another provider.

You have gone one step too far and crossed a red line with me.

You cancelling Newsmax will ultimately make me cancel my cell service with you. Just giving you a heads up while I'm looking for another service. 

Change course don't chase off paying customers. I am a stock holder and customer. Please keep politics out of make money. 

OttoPylot, 

I understand the business end but as directv made huge profits (3.4 billion) and Newsmax is the 4th watched news outlet you would think they would keep them. That directv said we will not give you a penny says something other than money is involved. I wish I had all of the directv's channels viewer volumes but their comment makes me think something else is up. I believe Newsmax was asking 1 dollar per subscriber while directv is paying numerous other lower rated shows more. Example, according to the Nielsen ratings in 2022 cnbc was the 69th most watched channel. Directv has no problem paying them. Now Newsmax is 72 in the ratings. Disney channel is lower at 77. Disney Jr, Nick Jr , Showtime, The Weather Channel, Starz, Galavision, Court TV all are lower rated. I do not know all of what directv carries but it seems to me as Business 101 goes there are numerous other channels they should be dropping first.

Why do you get to decide what I watch?  This is absolutely outrageous!!  I have a family ATT plan and if you don't allow News Max to stay we are canceling the plan.  

I may have to drop ATT after 30 years of service. AT&T should not be taking political sides. Reinstate NEWSMAX

Why do the NewsMax posts keep disappearing? I have looked on this page multiple times and most of the posts are about NewsMax then they disappear. I saw at least 5 or 6 messages then they were deleted. Also the "Official" NewsMax topic has been closed which has made the latest post "age" and move to the 2nd page.

Why are you dropping Newsmax.  You are involved in censorship of the news just like Twitter, Facebook, Google, DOJ, and the DNC.  If you don't restore Newsmax, I will end my business relationship of 40 years with AT&T.

Please explain why DirectTV has deplatformed Newsmax when they have higher ratings and have asked for lower fees than many of the (Edited per community guidelines) news formats being offered.  It is especially disconcerting when this appears to be obeisance to far left (Edited per community guidelines) congressional representatives demands so that any adversarial opinions are removed.

AT&T is just a (Edited per community guidelines) service provider, not a sanctioned govrtnment censor. I want NEWSMAX back. Puleeze, do not attempt to claim that the decision did not come directly from the Deceptocrat office of John Stinky. For once, just do your dam jobs and give us what we pay for!!!

I would like to understand the reasoning behind the cancellation on Newsmax. 

Just taking my right to voice my opinion on dropping Newsmax! Without freedom of speech, AT&T would not exist! I will no longer support any AT&T platform!!!
