Newsmax had complained without evidence that DirecTV’s actions were driven by a disdain for conservatives, which Segundo-based DirecTV denied.
DirecTV’s dispute with conservative network Newsmax — which turned bitter when the small channel enlisted support from Republican politicians — is ending with Newsmax returning to programming lineups of satellite TV customers.
Members of Congress, who enjoy appearing on the channel that has become a cheerleader for right-wing causes, called for investigative hearings into DirecTV’s action. Former President Trump —— called the move “disgusting” and urged people to cancel their subscriptions to DirecTV and AT&T’s mobile network. AT&T is part-owner of DirecTV.
DirecTV had offered Newsmax to its subscribers since the channel’s launch in 2014, but it did not pay a fee to Newsmax as the distributor does for other, more established networks, including Fox News.
