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.

AT&T and DirectTV are partners of government. They are state media.
This is only the beginning...........Liberals/Socialists/Communists HATE Truth, HATE Christians and HATE Free speech.......More censorship will continue to happen with Conservatives and Christians..........BANK ON IT!!!
... and in fact they are the fascists, bending to the administration’s will in what stories they cover and how they cover them.
thanks Karl
You can stream OAN live for $20/year with about any streaming platform:
We did it on our Roku through KlowdTV.com.
Well said.
That appears to be a pirate TV site.
We believe Roku is the best possible streaming device and is agnostic between all the streaming possibilities.
Most alps allow you to set up favorite channels, so you don’t have to go through the ones you don’t want, again.
In the new streaming environment, you will tend to have an app for different groups of former channels.
If you want Fox content, look into FuboTV.
Maybe time to look at them again.
I checked. Sling does NOT have OAN as a base or add on offering. They still suck.
Don’t know that. I saw one poster recommended that one a few days ago.
“They have a stream on many platforms for 5 bucks a month.”
Streaming anything doesn’t work very well in areas that have internet speeds just a step over dialup. That is a huge chunk of the rural states.
You either pay for Direct or Dish, or you don’t get any TV service at all. Network free TV went off when O’Bastard switched everyone to digital. Poof! Gone! No TV for everyone more than 40 miles from a TV station.
bump for oan
On what grounds?
Began the process yesterday of ending over 20 years cell “service” w att for 7 phones
I’m in bfe. Streams fine over my 4g internet
