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.

Whee have .5 to 1 G internet.
I watched OAN for a while and quit
It seemed to be conservative propaganda rather than news.
That is, a conservative CNN with out the patina of age
I go outside or read a book.
TV is a easy habit to shake.
Put your mind right.
Sorry. This is the new Amerika. I forgot that only America and Caucasian liberals are allowed to speak out. Caucasian Americans have been CANCELLED.
Hard to get viewers if they don’t make it available.
You can do that with an Amazon Firestick and one of the many IPTVs available.
I pay $4 for an IPTV that streams from Russia. I get every US channel, every sporting event, every UFC pay-per view, every premium movie channel.
OAN encore is available for free on Pluto.
Sorry I got it thru Roku and Firestick
