Why is AT&T Censoring Conservative Channels?

As a former employee you should know that these forums are full of customers like you. 

I’m glad to hear you are looking for alternatives, that’s what I would have recommended

Why should AT&T pay them for their channel that is free, then have to pass it onto customers? It sounds to me that the move was a good financial move.

AT&T did not drop the channel from the line up, on their own, they were told to by NewsMax, when the two couldn't come to an agreement.

AT&T/DirectTV made a poor decision in dropping NewsMax and OAN.  Half of the subscribing country is not happy with this business blunder.  

@lou_do Agree. Why as a subscriber would I pay more to get something FREE. Besides, it was already free as offered on DirecTV and would still have been there. But they wanted money and DTV did not want to pay it. So Newsmax pulled the plug on the channel, not DirecTV.

Could care less. If I really wanted the content then I would find an option to get it. Just like my original reason for going with DTV, they offered what I wanted. 

Small chuckle. I use the app's majority of the times.

Same, but for different reasons. Their entire CS and billing and payment system is screwed up because they use some 3rd party screening service, so even if their system accepts it if the 3rd party system known as “Cybersource” rejects it then Directv won’t accept your payment method. Good luck Directv, you’re going to lose a lot of customers.

Hmmm…. Why should DIRECTV give a better deal to CNN than the other news channels?   Other providers also pay for Newsmax as their customers desire it in high quality in their package. 

Rant, rant, rant. It's over.
