This is a MAJOR blow to the network:
Nu Wexler ~ This is bigger than a social media suspension.
The vast majority of OANN’s viewers reportedly come from DirecTV:
Jennifer Jacobs ~ One America News Network depends heavily on DirecTV, its largest distributor, to reach its audience. DirecTV notified OAN’s owner that it plans to stop carrying the company’s two channels when their contract expires in early April, @gerryfsmith scoops.
And 90% of its revenue:
Brad Heath ~ That’s potentially a very big deal. OANN has said it gets 90% of its revenue from DirecTV owner AT&T. http://reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-oneamerica-att/
Now, let’s see what the reaction is from the right:
David Wohl ~ Great time to DROP @DIRECTV. It's actually horrible anyway.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
