Drop Fox News

I'm writing to ask Directv to drop Fox News.  I would like it removed from my standard subscription.  I'm done with the (Edited per community guidelines)

1) The questioning of getting vaccinated when other countries have Covid beat and the flu infections are down 90% in the last calendar year

2) Tucker Carlson belonging to racist organizations in College and not being held accountable

3) Tucker Carlson bringing race 'purity' conversation into his nightly shows

4) Other countries are suing the Murdochs for their platform of disinformation

5) Pick literally any other subject and they would rather let people die than do the right thing.  It's becoming more and more akin to foreign (Edited per community guidelines). 

It's disgusting, it's un-American and it's not politics.  Listen to the words they are saying. Remove this channel and keep a customer.

DTV can only remove a channel when their contract is up.

On the other hand, if people don't like CNN or MSNBC should they also ask Direct TV to cancel them? The best solution if you don't like Fox News is just don't watch it, problem solved.

News & info channels’ subscriber fees are normally small. MSNBC gets ~$0.33, CNN gets between $0.70-0.90 per month (and includes CNN and CNN Headline News). In contrast, Fox News charges near or over $2 a month.....so for those that say, "Don't watch it"....I don't...the point is that I don't want to give FOX $25 annually, for garbage.  Make ALL NEWS Channel an optional tier.

Your paying for a program package not individual channels.

I've been within the telecommunications industry for 35 years, and AT&T, Comcast, etc. has to pay each channel (ESPN, TBS, etc.) monthly fees to rebroadcast their respective content, so you do pay for "individual channels" that are grouped (by ATT, Comcast, etc) into "program packages" or tiers, that the consumers pay for.  Those costs (what the news channels charge for carriage) are accurate.

Even though I agree with your assessment of them, Directv is not going to drop Fox News or any other channel because you don’t like their content. If you feel that strongly about them, target their advertisers. They won’t charge their ways as long as they keep selling ads.

fox news isn't news.  it's LIES.  dangerous, lethal intentional lies for ratings and money and destruction.  fox is responsible for the insurrection at our nation's capitol - trump could not instigate it without fox's continually headlining known false reporting that our election was stolen.  their treacherous lies have caused and exacerbated division of our country to where we are being threatened by civil war.  do not make us pay for this anti- 'news' channel. plus everything DEHPHX said here, two years ago (above).

No reason to reiterate something from two years ago. This will be closed.
