No one is stopping you from canceling. The phone call to the retention/loyalty department is one second away. 

And, directv isn’t trying to silence anyone. They simply refuse to pay the carriage fee that newsmax has recently demanded all providers pay. Meanwhile, newsmax content is free via their app on streaming devices and phones, tablets. So, directv feels they shouldn’t have to pay for something that is free elsewhere.

DirecTV falsely claimed to media outlets that Newsmax is asking for a fee but still wants to keep a free stream on OTT platforms (over-the-top service is a type of service offered directly to viewers).

But this is false; no operator pays a fee while Newsmax streams free and DirecTV was fully aware the free stream will end this year.

"We've discussed with Newsmax on several occasions that we'd like to offer their programming, however, the network is now seeking significant fees that we cannot pass on to our broad customer base," a DirecTV representative claimed in a statement.

But an analysis shows that Newsmax was seeking a fee with a 75% discount to its market value, and compared to fees currently paid by DirecTV, almost all 50 channels below Newsmax in ratings get higher fees.

Oh no! Nobody cares. 

Newsmax only gets 100,000 regular viewers total.  You're the 1% that even remotely cares. What a snowflake.
