I have been with AT&T wireless from mid 90s when I got my first cell phone. I NEVER switched from AT&T until January 2023! Not once! Now I will be dropping ATT because they are censoring Newsmax! I’m sick of big corporations selling out my country! ATT is one of the worst. I’m done!
@GeeGee5546 No, they are not censoring Newsmax. Newsmax was carried for free on DirecTV. Newsmax decided that they wanted to start charging DirecTV to carry their channel. Being as DirecTV didn't have to pay before it made no sense to start paying now for what they were getting for free. There were negotiations but money couldn't be agreed upon. Besides, Newsmax didn't have anything else to offer besides themselves so the contracts were not renewed.
DirectTV has, or will soon, replace Newsmax with The F1irst with Bill O'Reilly, so you'll still get the same type of entertainment.
You can always watch Newsmax for free on their website, unless they choose to go to subscription service. Comcast also carries Newsmax, for now, if you want to switch providers.
Oh, and @PJS99 , OAN was dropped because they had a carriage agreement with DirecTV but they couldn't come to a term agreement at renewal time so they pulled their network feed from DirecTV and were dropped. Not censorship, business as usual.
OAN was losing money (advertisers) so their demands were more than DirecTV was will to pay. You may still be able to find them online or behind a pay wall.
This started with Directv dropping Glenn Beck/The Blaze, OAN, and now Newsmax. Blatant censorship much? We dropped Directv when they dropped The Blaze.
The Blaze went to streaming only so you can take that one off your conspiracy theory list but
