DirecTV and Newsmax have reached a new multiyear deal that will bring the conservative channel back to some 13 million customers this week.
The deal marks the end of a lengthy and bitter public relations battle between the two companies that hinged on carrier fees, with Newsmax’s leadership repeatedly accusing the cable provider of political bias.
“Newsmax recognizes and appreciates that DirecTV clearly supports diverse voices, including conservative ones,” Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy said in a statement celebrating the agreement. “As a standalone company, DirecTV helped give Newsmax its start nearly a decade ago as it continues to do with upcoming news networks, which is why we are pleased to reach a mutually beneficial agreement that will deliver our network to DirecTV, DirecTV STREAM and U-verse customers over the next several years.”

Are you reffering to the HIGH QUALITY OF ABE, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, ET AL?????.
You have a low bar for quality.
I feel great! Better service and WAAAAAY less expensive than DTV. The iPad app *actually* works as well!!!!

If I were a DTV customer and had dropped them for that, then I’d be feeling pretty good about it.
There is always one.
You and about a dozen more are happy.
“I wonder how all the people who dropped Directv over them dropping Newsmax feel now?”
That’s why Direct TV got them back. They lost a lot of customers.
...and this means?

Chris Ruddy (owner of Newsmax) stabbed us in the back a long time ago....
Some of us never forget.
Take it however you want.
Droll.
Take care.

“Newsmax will pay a fee for the first time.”
I assume you meant “will be paid a fee” ie DirecTV will pay for carrying Newsmax.
I could not care less, as I don’t have DTV
I have DTV and I don’t care, I never watched Newsmax either, if you have DTV, I did watch the channel that replaced Newsmax, it wasn’t bad, Jesse Kelly has a morning show followed by Bill O’Reilly.
