since AT&T owns DirecTV.
I had to look up on my hidden channels to see if OAN and Newsmax were still an option, since they don't display on my program guide if they are hidden.

"One America News, the conspiratorial TV network for conservatives, filed a lawsuit last week against DirecTV and AT&T over the companies’ decision this year to drop the network from their cable packages.
...
The lawsuit seeks $1 billion in damages from DirecTV and its majority owner, AT&T. Lawyers for OAN said the two media companies used “unchecked influence and power” to “unlawfully destroy an independent, family-run business and impede the right of American television viewers to watch the news media channels and programs of their choice.”

I'm sure he thinks he can pressure AT&T to renew OAN or they will create legislation that could hurt AT&T.
That's how pressure politics work.

Not that I'm a fan of AT&T, since they like to donate to RW Conservative candidates.
