A website for a small cable network that will feature Sarah Palin talking with Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush crashed hours before the interviews were set to take place.

Little-known One America News Network acknowledged the outage at 3:45 p.m. PT on Friday, citing widespread anticipation in the interviews.

“So much interest in the interview of Donald J. Trump, Jeb Bush, and Ted Cruz tonight by Sarah Palin at 10 pm EST that you crashed the oann.com website! It will be up shortly – Thank you for the interest in One America News Network,” read the post.

Despite the fact OAN is only available in 12 million U.S. households, the interview is generating tremendous interest largely on the drawing power of Trump. Then there’s the appeal of Palin, who is serving as guest host for the OAN series “On Point.”

In addition to its TV home, OAN is also available for streaming via an app on Roku and Amazon Fire...

Denial of service attack from agents of the Progressive/’RAT comrades?

Cord-cutting FReepers, add this channel (OANN) to your Roku, AppleTV, or Chromecast. It’s only $4.99/month.

Those who are not ready for prime time
will have prime time thrust upon them.

Think bigger.

[Islander7]

Its still down. Won’t load

[Bogey78O]

Uverse 1108.

Noticed them months back when they were doing solid political coverage during the 2014 elections.

[tennmountainman]

Yep. Still down.

[freespirit2012]

They need something direct online— i would pay for it..

[Bobalu]

Trump should buy the little network and stream it for free.

It would really stick it to FOX.

Also get it on the two satellite systems...DISH and DirecTV.

Buy his own network and have a debate a week, all candidates welcome.... the Saturday Night Brawl.

Millions of people wanted to see the interview with Jeb!

Looks like Trump is sticking it to FOX.

OAN still down.

Are you sure about Chromecast? I’ve been thinking about getting one because my TV and bluray already get most if not all of the channels on Roku. Chromecast ...if I’m not mistaken ,..also lets me cast to TV from android devices.

[OldNewYork]

And life goes on. Goodbye, Fox.

Here's the link to OANN but it's still down. Good to bookmark for those who don't have it on file.

[SoFloFreeper]

[Jane Long]

For anyone with Verizon Fios- Channel 116 (SD), 616 (HD).

You'd have to buy the box. I have Roku 3, which is it's own box and you can purchase any channel that fits your interest. I'm not familiar with Apple.

Hint: Always hardwire to Ethernet connection. Much better than WI-fi.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

I use Roku 3. Not sure about Chromecast.
