OAN is not the only conservative outlet losing distribution. Newsmax, the Boca Raton, Fla.-based channel that is the TV home of former President Trump’s first press secretary, Sean Spicer, was dropped from four cable systems in January after it failed to reach new carriage agreements with those companies.

"The decision was not related in any way to the content on the network."
Walton added that Newsmax's demands for a higher fee "would have resulted in increased TV fees for all Breezeline customers — for a channel that is free online to other viewers."
