The most balanced cable news on television is owned, operated and backed by big money fans of the right wing.
There are no "mainstream media" liberals pulling the strings behind OAN, the 3-year-old digital channel available in about 15 million homes. And it's by far one of the most fair news outlets around, serving up a daily diet of ad-free, non-ideological, nonstop news — without smirking, snarky anchors or much fanfare.
In terms of balanced content, it leaves Fox News Channel, MSNBC and CNN in the dust.
It's about time someone filled the void. Most cable news now more closely resembles talk radio.
OAN, which stands for One America News Network (there's no second "N" in the logo), is actually beating Fox News sibling Fox Business in the cut-throat ratings race, according to Rentrak, which measures viewers differently than its rival, Nielsen.
But OAN is growing.
Herring says he saw an opening for a mostly straight-news driven channel when CNN started to fill its primetime with reality shows like Anthony Bourdain's travel show, "Parts Unknown."
MSNBC and Fox were even riper for competition because, while they may be ideologically different, their programming is the same.
"We did a lot of research and we found that MSNBC and Fox actually looked remarkably similar," says Herring. "It's just an anchor sharing their opinions for an hour," he said.

It is the ONLY national newscast that we watch in this house.
I have never heard of it. I guess Charter doesn’t carry it.
I catch the archived shows frequently.
I’m in NJ and have Comcast TV. No OAN. I did write to OAN a couple of times, but no OAN here. I do get it on my Verizon computer. Hope this mess at Fox will give OAN a push to get on live TV all over..
They have talented news anchors. Kaushal Patel, Ryan Hoefle, Greta Wall, etc.
Plus, Graham Ledger may get more ratings since O’Reilly is gone.
Love OAN!
I have Direct TV in Los Angeles. Can I get it?
And I’ll bet they don’t have beautiful girls in miniskirts delivering the news, either.
“Hope this mess at Fox will give OAN a push to get on live TV all over..”
Maybe it will get some big money behind OAN so it can get more coverage.
How about dish?
I checked out their home page. Someone correct me if I am wrong. One can subscribe to the network (three channels)
via video streaming directly to one’s PC correct?
Channel 347 on dtv.
OAN comes with my cable subscription, but I get most of my national and international news off the internet. OAN can be really dry at times. But I do understand it’s the most balanced news channel out there.
They tend to repeat the same broadcast every hour for some time but they give out more news in one hour that the other alleged news channels, including Faux News, give out all day. Even Faux News, while the newscasters might be different, tends to rehash the same news itemshour after hour ad nauseam .
Yes. Give it a try. Totally unbiased news with a conservative bend.

I’ve been watching since it came to DirectTV. I like it.
