DirecTV announced Thursday that it has filled the slot of Newsmax with conservative outlet the First.
The contract is "multiyear," according to the television provider, with the First's programs featured on a free channel to DirecTV customers. Previously, the First was only available via streaming on Paramount Pluto TV, starting in 2019.
The First features the likes of Dana Loesch and Bill O'Reilly as primary hosts, as well as podcaster Liz Wheeler and Marine veteran Jesse Kelly. O'Reilly is the only host with renowned television broadcast experience prior to the First. He worked for Fox News for 20 years before he was fired over sexual assault allegations in 2017. Following his ousting, O'Reilly was in talks with Newsmax for a time slot of his own but kept his show No Spin News on his own website before bringing it to the First.

Clarification: Never cared for O’Reilly.
I second that.
I don’t think Bill O’Reilly still has enough public influence to effect elections this far in advance.
No doubt Bill thinks he does.
Just asking; probably already know why.
The only thing worse than O’Reilly’s bloviating is Hannity’s bloviating.................
I say yes, yes and yes.
It amazes me how fashionable it is to question the COVID shots nowadays and I question them consistently.
Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal raising vaccine questions?
Trump swears by his “Operation Warp Speed” and I think the Fakservative RINO’s will attack Trump from the vaccine flank at some point.
Man, ain’t that the truth!
There are a lot of crap programs on direct TV that could have nixed to make room for the new “conservative” stations they didn’t have to ax newsmax!
I downloaded Pluto TV to pickup Newsmax plans are to quit AT&T.
Amazing....Direct TV not too bright in the brains department....replacing the powerful Newsmax with a
“Bill O’Reilly” Gig, that will not even match a Don Lemon brain dead CNN failed gig on CNN!!! Sadly Bill O’Reilly has long ago had his 15 minutes of fame!!! GO Figure, folks!!!
Ted Baxter O’Reilly a conservative????
That’s a joke, right???????
The only thing worse than O’Reilly’s bloviating is Hannity’s bloviating
^^This^^
i like Bill O, always have.
I know alot of folks here got their knickers in a bunch because he does not slavishly salivate over Free Republic.
You would think his pro life views alone would give him VIP status here.
...the same Bill O’Reilly who paid millions to settle sexual harassment claims.
🤣👍 I was over sean and billy boy many years ago.
Jesse Kelly has the best show on radio.
Watched Jesse Kelly and Bill O’Reilly this morning — not bad.
The First TV.
That was my point. It seems that they wanted to replace “Newsmax”, which is a staunch Trump supporter, with O’Reilly, who is not. In other words, they want to ‘give us’ a conservative show of their choosing, which is also censorship.
YES! That is the point. They want to substitute their idea of ‘crazy conservative’.
