Cable giant Verizon has now unceremoniously dropped One American News (OAN) from its lineup of news channels.

As The Daily Caller reports:

Verizon, the largest television subscription platform, will no longer have rights to OAN due to disagreements over “economic considerations,” The Hill reported Thursday. The company said the news network did not agree to “fair terms.”

“Our negotiation with OAN has been a typical, business as usual carriage negotiation like those that routinely happen between content distributors and content providers,” Verizon told The Hill. “Our company has long advocated for providing customers with the ability to choose what content they want to watch, and our Fios TV platform offers a wide and diverse choice of programming options, including a la carte options, that strive to meet our millions of customers’ various content needs and preferences.”

Liberal media watchdog group Media Matters, along with other organizations, reportedly pushed Verizon not to renew a contract with OAN. The organization published a piece titled, “Red Herring: Verizon shouldn’t capitulate to OAN’s last-ditch attacks as its contract expires,” claiming the network sparks vicious attacks against the LGBTQ community.

The network will officially cease broadcasting with Verizon on July 31st.

  1. OAN is the ONLY news source for me. So far, they are the ONLY news source untainted by the traitors and purveyors of false information masquerading as news. Of course, they are hated. They bring the truth.

  2. I already made my comment praising OAN. You blocked it. I now know where you are on the spectrum.

  3. Media matters are low life scumballs. Sooros is behine them. Verizon is pretty damned dumb to do this.

  4. I don’t watch Fios TV but I do spend a lot monthly for Verizon Wireless. The adage go Woke, go Broke might apply to this decision. Why do corporations cater to a very small clientele? If they stopped responding to the 1% who send multiple messages of hate, then the emails would cease.
