I pay $4.99 a month for KlowdTV, which comes with quite a few channels, including OANN.

As soon as I can find a way to buy Bally Sports Midwest (Cardinals and Blues games) and Turner Classic Movies separately, I’m out.

I imagine the lawsuit is a piece of that decision, too, but back in January the reason given was lack of viewers (AWE is going bye-bye, too, so I suspect that's the root cause).

Just sayin', tho. I don't have a dog in this fight; I watch on Pluto.

ALL Direct TV mailing goes directly to the shredder... and I had two of them the past three weeks...

had my mail held for three weeks..while I was out of State...It filled a white trash bag and I’ll take it to a relatives BURN PILE this week....

I really miss having my burn pit...at my former home I moved from 17 months ago...guess we have to have..’give and take’ options even when we grow OLD....wink~wink...

Court records have shown that about 90% of OAN’s revenue is generated from its AT&T/DirecTV deals.

Yikes - having 9 out of 10 of your eggs in one basket is not a recipe for success - leaves you very vulnerable.

I don't see how legally they will have a leg to stand on unless AT&T is not fully honoring the current contract. They are not obligated to enter into another new contract with any party again, I would not think.

Where do you think they get the feeds? Often, DirectTV.

Cable and satellite companies would see huge profits if they took on OANN, they don’t for political reasons only.

Since I can get OANN for free on Pluto, which is a free streaming service, owned by Paramount/CBS, I don't understand where the huge profits would come from?

[Republican Wildcat]

There are probably a lot of TCM “clones” available on free streaming apps on things like Roku - both live TV channels lists and on demand apps. Then there is also the over the air free “MOVIES!” Network, etc. with similar type programming 24/7. OAN is currently streaming free on PlutoTV available on Roku.

As far as Bally Sports - unfortunately I looked around and while there is an app on Roku, it requires a sign-in from a satellite provider. Only way out of that would be to find another app that may carry the same games including audio apps.

Where do you get that information? I seriously doubt DirectTV is streaming things for free on competing platforms. But if they are, fine - I'm not paying them.

The re-broadcasts are pirate broadcasts. I have seen it many times. DirectTV hardly endorses these, but it is hard to track down the players.

Dear AT&T:

DIE, CORPORATE SCUM!!!

The end.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

I’m sure if DirecTV carries Logo, that channel will remain alive, well and healthy.

I pretty much gave on hooking my TV back up after moving into my new house in Florida. Between Disney (owner of tons of entertainment outlets) backing pedo-groomers, Newsmax distorting their vaccine reporting after accepting NIH money and corporate scummery like this, there’s no point, really, in even turning the damned thing back on.

Good link for cord cutters. Mind you, the only thing I do is watch Tucker (FNC), but helpful info.

[tinamina]

I have AT&T cable and OANN is on there. I wonder if they will delete it from AT&T cable as well?

[zeugma]

I dropped all cable and downloading services several years ago. Don’t miss any of it a bit.I think I have OTA via an antenna on my TV, but I haven’t even tested that in more than a year. My TV turns out to work just fine as the head to my Linux-based media player.

OANN streams...but....you have to pay for a subscription.

Their app plan, for $4.99/mo ... or, via KlowdTV, for $2.99/mo.

We aren’t watching them, much, these days...as they appear to be NATO cheerleaders.

We’re watching Real America’s Voice News...which is FREE to stream, primarily.

OANN should’ve made their streaming free.

[Jane Long]

Thanks for that link.....is it LIVE OANN?

[\/\/ayne]

You get OANN Plus reruns for free which is part of OANN. They have OANN and OANN Plus current (not reruns) on cable and for $2.50 a month on KlowdTV.

DTV is now owned by AT&T.
Because of this censorship I cancelled a 20 yr. account.
OANN was the only news channel worth watching on their satellite and was praised by 45 for fairness. The MSM can’t handle true journalism, it points out their fake news bias.
DTV and AT&T have shown their true colors. Cancel culture.
I watch OANN on KlowdTV now and you can also get it direct from OANN too. We don’t need DTV! They need us.
