NewsMax

This is a public forum full of customers like you. Your question isn’t going to get answered the way you want here. You should call the business directly and ask.

Let's just put it this way Newsmax and Directv have not been able to agree to terms at this time that would be beneficial to both parties and because of that Newsmax has been taken off the Directv lineup.  You can still watch Newsmax for FREE on the Newsmax app as long as you can stream.  Why would you want Directv to make a deal that would raise our bill when you can watch this channel for free? I think we all are paying way too much as it is for our TV service and I for sure do not want my bill to go any higher.

Directv could save it's entire customer base by retaining Newsmax (and paying the $1 per subscriber to Newsmax), and eliminating 50% of it's left leaning news channels that currently overlap viewpoints with one another. The name of the game is variety.

That 1 channel has a totally different perspective than the 20 that say the same thing each day. That's called variety, but you don't want variety. You're looking for the same message.

What ever. It's free on many media offerings. Why pay for it.
