newsmax

Hello there. DIRECTV's negotiation with Newsmax is simply economic, not political. We are doing everything we can to keep prices low for all of DIRECTV's customers while continuing to offer content that reflects all political views. We added The First to our channel lineup and continue giving DIRECTV and DIRECTV STREAM, customers a diverse lineup of perspectives without the financial burden. Luna, DIRECTV Community Specialist.

Then get rid of msnbc and cnn..that will save money for newsmax

They have already removed OAN and newsmax and not one liberal news channel..tell me the hypocrite that it's not political

I suspended my service a couple weeks ago to give AT&T a chance to negotiate.  I was going to give them a week to negotiate, ended up giving them more than 2.  But today Newsmax isn't coming back and I closed my account permanently.  I had been a Directv customer so long my equipment wasn't worth returning.  No Newsmax for me, no $128/month for AT&T.

It's not hypocrisy to ask for parity.  If there are 22 liberal news channels, there should be 22 conservative news channels.  But since there is now only one conservative news channel, there should be only one liberal news channel.

DirecTV LIES!!!!   They said they are "still in negotiations" but the very next day they had reassigned the channel to another network.     

DirecTV LIES!!!!   They said they were still negotiating but the very next day they had already reassigned the channel to a different network.   The way they are "negotiating" is like me saying this to them:  I'm not going to pay you anymore for your services, but you should keep sending me your signals for free :-)     No NewsMax = No Direct TV  = CANCEL SERVICE

Signals are free. Same free live content available on their streaming service and several other streaming services - it's FREE. Why pay - go watch it!

And yes, of course we watch their FREE streaming when not home.   I’m just addicted to old school DVR and a resistive to change I guess

To say DIRECTV is still willing to negotiate isn’t really accurate. NewsMax must agree to not get paid normal fees for remaining on the DIRECTV lineup or leave. DIRECTV has already stated it is not willing to pay NewsMax a single penny per subscriber. Meanwhile, over 20 leftist news channels remain on the DIRECTV lineup and enjoy getting paid normal fees by DIRECTV. Dropping half of these leftist channels would allow DIRECTV is save money from paying fees, and pass that savings to customers without really affecting it's overall customer base at all. DIRECTV customers affected by a dropped leftist channel who want the same leftist information could move to another leftist channel because they provide the same information. This is purely a political decision.

I am not asking to drop other channels because of their view points but because of their low ratings. Whatever they are paying cnn is to much because few people watch the network. 

It sure seems like it is politics after Democrats asked AT&T to drop three conservative channels and now 2 are gone from DIRECTV. Suspicious and very disappointing to say the least. I'm looking for alternatives.
