Simple, the agreement with CNN isn’t up for renewal. Directv can’t drop them even if they wanted to until that agreement ends. What they pay any channel for carriage fees has absolutely nothing to do with any other channel, so what they pay CNN is irrelevant. Besides that, CNN is owned by Warner Media, so any agreement is probably for a group of channels, not individual channels.

Thanks Juniper. The information that was being spread was that DirecTV dropped newsmax because of fees and ratings. That didn't seem right to me for any channel to just be dropped. I appreciate your explanation.

Also, the same live content is available on Newsmax streaming app free as well as other media sources like YouTube or Pluto, etc.
