DirecTV announced Friday that it would not renew its contract with Herring Networks Inc., the owner of right-wing news outlet One America News Network (OAN), “following a routine internal review.” The announcement followed an investigation by Reuters published in October 2021 which found platforms owned by AT&T, including DirecTV, were responsible for the overwhelming majority of OAN’s revenue.
