Appears that DTV and Newsmax didn't reach an agreement by the contract deadline so Newsmax removed their feed to DTV. Most contracts expire at midnight.
Agreement wasn't reached in time, so Newsmax pulled the feed. The expectation is they are still negotiating, but I guess we'll know more in the next day or so.
Newsmax wil be back when/if a new agreement is reached. Just because the deadline was reached doesn't just stop negotiations. Waiting to find out for sure if negotiations are over or if this is the normal tactic of channel owner pulling feed (as is their right) in the meantime.
DIRECTV will soon launch conservative network, The First, across all three of its video services: DIRECTV, DIRECTV STREAM and U-verse.
The First features the most powerful conservative voices in America, including influential hosts Bill O’Reilly, Dana Loesch, Liz Wheeler and Jesse Kelly, and includes live news coverage, original shows and documentaries.

Sounds like a Veruca Salt song.
