OAN host pleads with viewers to find 'dirt' on AT&T chair after network dropped by provider

Last week, DirecTV, majority-owned by US telecoms giant AT&T, said it would not renew its contract with the network when the current one expires, following a “routine internal review.”

Mr Ball said the network is “at war” with AT&T, sharing a graphic with the company’s customer service phone number and a photograph of the company’s chair William Kennard.
