Newsmax

I think this is disingenuous.  Added cost is reportedly $1 more per subscriber.  I'm sure they could cut other channels that NOBODY watches to make up for it.  I had a "loyalty dept" person say it's because Newsmax is available for free on other platforms in his talking points from the top.  (Edited per community guidelines).  several channels are available online for free that Directv carries.  They got caught so are making stuff up as they go along.  Go woke, go broke.

I will spend my $1 elsewhere and continue to watch it free! I will be glad to take your $1.

Hello-

I was a DirecTV customer for 20+ until several years ago when I changed services to Comcast. It’s been a challenging few years with Comcast and recently I had been considering a change back to DirecTV. Slightly undecided but planning to make a decision within the next few days, I was heavily leaning towards returning to DirecTV. That was, until I was made aware of a decision by DirecTV that would’ve had me regretting my move. That decision from DirecTV was to drop Newsmax. You see, when I select a provider’s services, I’m not paying for them to provide me with that they want me to see. It’s about what I want to to see. At least, I believe I am the customer in this type of transaction.

Therefore, I wanted to personally thank DirecTV on their decision which helped me narrowly miss a mistake I would’ve made returning to DirecTV. Thank you.

Again, it's free on many platforms.
