OANN’s contract with Verizon, its last major cable carrier, set to expire July 30

The ball appears to be in Verizon’s court.

Far-right media outlet One America News Network has only days to work out a new deal with the communications giant, which is the only major cable provider still doing business with the doggedly Trumpian channel.

Watchdog group Media Matters, which monitors outlets like OANN and Fox News, reports that Verizon Fios subscribers have recently seen a message on their screens stating OANN’s parent company, Herring Networks, is in negotiations with the cable company that the Daily Beast said had only 3.7 million subscribers last fall.
