Culture War Escalates – DirecTV To Drop One America News In Blow To Conservative Channel
Trending Politics ^ | 14 January 2022 | Eric Thompson

As someone who writes political articles for a living, the rapid change in the U.S. culture, below the radar, is staggering.

In addition to the Marxists controlling the various education systems, the mainstream news and entertainment industries are complicit in the attempt to deconstruct American and rebuild it as an unrealistic Utopian mirage. The leftist, Godless experiment would fail as the culture would die of thirst while walking towards the oasis in the desert that doesn’t exist.

In response to the WOKE cancel culture’s demands, DirecTV, one of the largest U.S. pay-TV providers plans to drop One America News Network, the conservative channel known for its pro-Donald Trump coverage and commentary.

“We informed Herring Networks that, following a routine internal review, we do not plan to enter into a new contract when our current agreement expires,” a DirecTV spokesperson confirmed on Friday.

According to Bloomberg, which first reported the news, DirecTV will continue to carry OANN’s programming through their existing agreement ending in April. DirecTV began carrying OAN in April 2017.

OAN depends heavily on DirecTV, its largest distributor, to reach its audience. The channel is still carried on Verizon FiOS and smaller pay-TV providers, according to its website. The broadcast can also be streamed via an online-TV service called KlowdTV. OAN has never been carried by Comcast Corp., Charter Communications Inc., or Dish Network Corp.

Per Reuters, AT&T has contributed “tens of missions of dollars in revenue” to the network, which has faced lawsuits for its coverage of the 2020 election. In fact, the report shows, 90% of OANN’s revenue comes from a contract with television platforms AT&T owns, including DirecTV.

OAN is available as an app. Stand alone, or on a SmartTV with Roku or FireStick.

Yep. They will lose many customers over this.

I wonder if OAN can sue? Or could customers sue them as well? Outrageous censorship.😡

I would imagine that it’s DirecTV’s completely valid option to not renew the deal, just as it would be OAN’s option not to do so as well.
