I think it was a great channel, very good programming, it's a shame that it will shut down.

I am bummed and would love to see Al Jazeera English replace it, but I seriously doubt that will happen. If the rumors of One America News replacing it are true, I honestly don't mind. I would love to see a respectable conservative news channel like OAN to compete with Fox "News."

Don't you already have that in Newsmax???

You know how many people hate and get offended this channel is even offered?

Why should they get offended? Is a news channel, no different than CNN

I like NewsMax, but it seems like OAN has more news throughout a 24 hour cycle than NewsMax. NewsMax has a lot of great history documentaries though. I wouldn't compare CNN to Fox News in terms of offering news, but everybody is entitled to their opinion. I won't shout out hatred or flame bait here, but I just feel like OAN would be a nice complement to NewsMax since even most of my conservative family and friends are no longer fans of Fox News.
