NEWSMAX IS BACK ON DIRECTTV---as of TODAY

[AquaAthena]

Direct TV blows. If they bring OAN back, then we can start their rehab.

YES, bring back that honest reporting news channel.

DT said "no" at first and then saw their shareholders cancel to the tune of about 10 million dollars ( 7% reportedly ) and then both sides came back to the table and renegotiated. DT had already silenced OAN's free speech and all that was left is Fox which is moving left, drawing liberals ( so they left them on ) and Newsmax. The remaining channels were all small liberal ones.

And the hosts are all-stars. They are growing like gangbusters and had been with DT for almost ten years. DT saw the power of the people with the last almost two months of public pressure to put them back on and they did. Both sides came to an agreement. The whole thing was about canceling free speech even though DT denies that. But both sides are happy now and the 30 million subscribers DT canceled are probably too.

Win/Win

You really need to familiarize yourself with the dispute between the companies. It had nothing to do with politics or "free speech", and everything to do with money.
Here is the original dispute.

DirecTV blasts Newsmax for pushing 'inaccurate and misleading' attacks after the right-wing network was dropped

All niceties have been thrown out the window as DirecTV finds itself ensnared in an ugly carriage dispute with Newsmax.

Here is the result. The whole thing was about money..and Newsmax's insistence that DirecTV pony up...and they said #sand.
And....Newsmax comes crawling back. I'll bet they didn't get shit from DT.

DirecTV says Newsmax will return to lineup, months after network claimed "censorship"

The satellite-TV provider had said the dispute was over money, while conservative TV network Newsmax had alleged bias.

Newsmax Uses Footage of Iowa Building Collapse When Discussing Drone Strike in Russia

Newsmax accidentally aired footage of an Iowa building collapse while discussing a drone strike in Russia.

Newsmax used footage of an Iowa building collapse while discussing a drone strike in Russia during a Tuesday broadcast.
The error occurred during the latest edition of The Record With Greta Van Susteren where she broke down the latest news of the strike that hit Moscow on Tuesday, the first to hit a civilian area in Russia since the beginning of the war with Ukraine.
A clip from the show began circulating via Media Matters.
Host Greta Van Susteren teased the coverage of the drone attack before the show went to commercial break where footage from an Iowa apartment building collapse was shown. The building collapse occurred in Davenport, Iowa on Sunday after a part of the building mysteriously imploded.
Despite showing the footage while discussing the drone hit in Moscow, a “Tow Away Zone” sign in English could clearly be seen in one of the still images.
As the show came back from commercial break, more footage was used.
“A new chapter unfolding in the Russia / Ukraine war, and it’s disturbing. This morning in Moscow, city of 21 million people, there was a predawn attack. Drones struck several buildings, according to Russia’s defense ministry. Five of eight drones were shot down,” Van Susteren said.
More images of the Iowa build collapse were shown before footage from the actual drone strike in Moscow appeared at the end of the segment.
