Lol so AT&T let’s them broadcast and thought it would bring in revenue? And an exec from AT&T started the station?
That’s really most of this. So what? Isn’t that the point of commerce?
- jaywalk 5y agoRobert Herring never worked for AT&T. Before OAN, Herring Networks had one station (Wealth TV) which was carried on DirecTV. It sounds like he had a meeting with AT&T execs to discuss what type of content they'd be interested in carrying, and they said they wanted conservative news so that's what he launched. These types of meetings happen all the time. There is zero scandal here.
- lettergram 5y agoI agree, my only quip — I’m the article it mentioned an AT&T executive left in 2013 to help start OAN. I’m not exactly sure what was meant there, but the article itself is my only source.
- jaywalk 5y agoThe article doesn't mention that. I think you may have misread.
