The founder and CEO of San Diego-based One America News on Thursday appealed to viewers of his far-right network to contact their cable provider to carry OAN.
Robert Herring Sr. commented publicly for the first time on “surprise” news a week ago that AT&T and DirecTV would drop OAN.
“Whether it’s Spectrum, Dish, or any of the other great providers … let them know that you would like for them to carry One America News,” he said in a 2 1/2-minute segment.
He even revealed what OAN makes in the carriage agreement.
“We only charge 10 cents per household per month,” Herring said. “That is a great deal by any standard, giving all of the amazing content our team puts out.”
In March 2016, OAN sued AT&T, complaining that AT&T had decided to acquire DirecTV and wind-down U-verse without telling Herring Networks. A year later, the case was dismissed at the request of both parties.
But in that original complaint, OAN said its monthly carriage fee was 18 cents per subscriber.
More recently, a leading market analytics firm listed OAN’s affiliate fee at 12 cents, which is what Media Matters President Angelo Carusone tweeted in October.
“AT&T has been what certainly seems like overpaying for OANN,” said a Media Matters spokeswoman Friday. “Fees are set by negotiation, but a big driver is demand score (the number of people requesting the channel). OANN doesn’t have a particular high demand score and certainly not one that would justify 12 cents.”
In 2019, OAN claimed to be available to 35 million households, but its actual viewership has been placed at only tens of thousands.

Sling via Roku. Ma and me watch everyday.
I’ve got Firestick. If cable kills it I’ll get it there.
Far Right. We think we are average people with conservative leanings and they think we are fascists. They may not actually think we are fascists but they bully us into silence by calling us names in the finest juvenile traditions.
Ever wonder when we will hear “Radio Free America” coming in from some obscure location outside what used to be our country?
Sling is where we're headed, once I can convince my wife to cut the cord. Doing so will have us drop AT&T's Uverse TV service.
That was a majorly dumb thing to do. Ask your viewers help on digging dirt on an industry chairman.
That’s almost as bad as when Meghan Kelly used her talk show on NBC to interview women bringing sexual harrassment suits against executives of NBC.
That’s how I’ve been watching for the last 7 years. AppleTV through the KlowdTV App, at $4.99/month.
Great news show and hosts/reporters at OANN.
KlowdTV Worldwide package - 64 channels including OANN

The question is, can they find a replacement for the 90% of their revenue which they were getting from the DirecTV deal?
I think USTVGO.TV does.
I love OAN. KlowdTV is OANs own distribution “network”. They have an app for android, Amazon FireTV, and other TV “boxes”, or you can currently watch it on your computer for free.

I subscribe for $2.50 a month and get 64 channels; they have other plans as well. Some of the channels are good... most are not that great. But just OAN used to cost $5 a month. There are two OAN channels which are my favorites. KlowdTV is a bargain.
I have oan on Roku. 5 bucks a month.”
That’s what I have. I am on Ziply fiber which is basically Frontier.
Us too unfortunately.
“The question is, can they find a replacement for the 90% of their revenue which they were getting from the DirecTV deal?”
The better question is if you are paying DirecTV/AT&T a dime
...why?
Who the hell a you shilling for? If they want a venue we’re here. Are you trolling? 🐂💩
AT&T announced last week they are dropping OAN from DirecTV.
I know there are many cord cutters here and would like to see what you guys are doing.
Go streaming. Tons of free content and War Room. What’s not to love?
Can’t sue them under current law; but they can be turned into public utilities. They should have no more ability to deny service for political reasons than your power company, water company, or bank. Alternately, antitrust law should be strengthened to allow them to be broken up. Sorry, libertarians, but they are using their economic freedom to destroy economic freedom.
