Can I watch OAN on Roku since it has been deleted on Direct TV?

Since Direct TV has opted out of showing OAN, can I watch it on Roku or this company will become Woke also? If so...I will not be interested. I want to watch what I want NOT what they tell me to watch.

Have you not been to the Roku Channel Store? Have you not searched for OAN on the Roku?

No one can predict in advance who will keep anything.  If you marry yourself to a single content provider/channel, expect to hop around now and then.

OAN has been in the process of transitioning to a new subscription model over the last couple months.  OAN launched a new service last week called "OAN Live", which allows you to subscribe directly to the OAN live feed from OAN's website, and watch it on different streaming devices, including Roku.  If Roku drops them for some reason, you can find a different device to watch them without changing your subscription.  The old OAN channel used Roku to manage subscriptions and is no longer functioning.

I have been watching OAN on Roku for quite a while. It was free for most of that time and then last year I started paying something like $3.99 a month for OAN. Last month I could no longer open the OAN app. It says my subscription has ended. When I try to renew it will not allow me to. Even on the Roku website it will not allow me to update my subscription.

So yes, I believe Roku went Woke. Why do these people have to destroy everything they don't like.

Interesting. I was wondering why my subscription was abruptly ended with no option to renew. As far as the OAN live I need to try it again but the last time I tried it it didn't seem to be live. As far as you know it's live now?

I think you may have been watching OAN Plus/Encore if you were watching for free.  A lot of the free Channels/apps like Roku Channel, Puto, and others carry it  on their LiveTV programming.  The Plus/Encore is previously recorded content, not same day current live TV programming.

I was going to try the OAN Live subscription (the one you are referring to, directly from OAN website), but I am currently watching OAN through KlowdTV OAN Package (2.50/mo) and haven't seen a need to change yet. (This is live programming as well as access to previous shows/hosts).  In addition Klowd also has the OAN Plus/Encore channel.

@DBDukes has a different OAN subscription than I do so maybe he or others can verify if the direct subscription to OAN is working. (I believe it is).
