Newsmax
Why has DirecTv dropped Newsmax. The two news programs I watch is OANN and Newsmax and now you have dropped both of these conservative news programs. I don't watch liberal news programs like CNN or MSNBC. If Newsmax is not reinstated within two weeks I will be switching to Dish.

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.

DirecTV no longer wanted to stay in business with OANN, so made everyone aware it would be off at the end of the existing agreement with no negotiation.
With Newsmax, they did negotiate. But by the time the existing agreement ended they still hadn't hashed out a new one and so those negotiations stalled. Now with a new conservative network "The First" announced, it does seem unlikely that Newsmax would return.
So situation a bit different between those two. I would at least see if the new channel would be an alternative to Newsmax for you. If it isn't, then certainly go elsewhere that has the channels you prefer. Just be aware that channels are subject to change with any provider.
