Removing OAN and AWE is a mistake for Verizon

[Wolf21]

OAN is not a news station. It is an extreme right wing advertising channel. All it does is put fear into people about the border, inflation, the big lie, etc. it’s all propaganda and we as a people don’t need this type of rhetoric. I hope they remove Newsmax as well same garbage. In the beginning they were decent stations but now they are terrible.

One of the few channels that I regularly tune into is being discontinued. I hope they reach an agreement to continue. It's good content for me and a welcome relief to all the dross on so many of the channels.

I would have to disagree completely. 

Way back before I started watching OAN and other news stations. I tried watching it and before I condemned/ disagree with what they were casting and guess what after I did my own research, and not just snippet etc. 

I checked many other news right up's and this also included are own fed gov web sites or different agencies are they were 100% on the money. I used to only watch the standard ABC, CBS etc and found out how much they left out or never bothered to cover at all. 

Unfortunately all news anchor do put there own opinion etc in and I think that is hard not too. 

You would be amazed how much and how 1 sided almost the rest of the news outlets lie on, missing facts and use just a snip on a clip etc. 

I watch way to much news but now d

Do I know which side is telling the truth about the negotiations? I do not.

Would I be willing to pay a reasonable premium price to keep OAN on Verizon? Only if Verizon does not get to keep a single penny of it. They are already taking too much of my money. Bad behavior should not be rewarded.

Would I move to a DVR capable competitor if they carried OAN and religious channel 3ABN? Yup.

Verizon knows their competitors aren’t carrying OAN. So they can put the screws to Herring, knowing that their customers can’t just jump over to a competitor.

While I would gladly pay the price for OAN Live, LIVE is not how I watch TV. I watch EVERYTHING through DVR and On Demand streaming. I leave my DVR tuned to the news channels I watch. Then I can back up the hour, and skim through to watch just the stories I want to learn more about. Or I record them to watch later.

OAN is just now gearing up to do On Demand. But as far as I know, they will not have the ability to host the last hour of coverage online to be watched/skimmed at will. Or the ability to record and keep particular stories to show others later, before new news drops and that story gets lost from the lineup. This is where DVR is superior.

So the real question remains: Is Verizon playing hardball and really trying to get the best bang for the buck for their customers, or has Verizon already done the math and figured the number of customers that will actually dump them is an acceptable loss?

The one thing we can all be sure of is that the timing of this issue has absolutely nothing to do with the way One America would be covering the elections this fall.

I see that you must be afraid OAN and Newsmax are telling more of the truth then what your left wing hypocrite channels like MSNBC and CNN broadcast. You know the old saying- if you don’t like what’s on, DON’T WATCH IT.

I agree, removing OAN is a big mistake for Verizon 

[Nunyabiz3]

Lies. They don’t want to allow both sides to be heard. Take Disney off! Save our kids from their nasty agenda!

[BestGrandma]

I applaud Verizon for getting rid of OAN.  They were the source of disinformation and conspiracy theories and should not be confused with news in any way.

[DE521]

Hate to tell you but OAN is a more truthful news source than CNN and MSNBC combined. You know the old saying- If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Obviously you do.
