OAN
One America News Network (OANN), also known as One America News (OAN), is a far-right pro-Trump cable channel founded by Robert Herring, Sr., and owned by Herring Networks, Inc., launched on July 4, 2013. The network is headquartered in San Diego, California, and operates news bureaus in Washington, D.C. and New York City.
Its prime time political talk shows have a conservative perspective, and the channel regularly features pro-Donald Trump stories. The channel described itself as one of the "greatest supporters" of Trump. Trump has repeatedly promoted the network. The channel is prominent for promoting falsehoods and conspiracy theories.
OAN was announced on March 14, 2013 by Herring Networks, Inc., a family-owned national video programming company, which also owns sister channel AWE. The OAN channel originally debuted in partnership with The Washington Times, which had drawn criticism for racist content, including commentary and conspiracy theories about then-U.S. President Barack Obama, su pporting neo-Confederate historical revisionism, and promoting Islamophobia
On television, the network predominantly uses the acronym "OAN", whereas on Twitter it is more frequently known as "OANN". The network's web URL domain is at "OANN.com", but the site banner reads "OAN".
The channel was launched with the intention of serving a conservative audience. OAN President Charles Herring told the Conservative Political Action Conference: "Fox News has done a great job serving the center-right and independent audiences... But those who consider themselves liberal have a half-dozen or more choices on TV each day". Herring also emphasized the network's separation of news from opinion content. He said that straight news would be reported throughout the day, with limited opinion and commentary on evening talk shows, including The Daily Ledger, hosted by Graham Ledger, and The Tipping Point, hosted by Liz Wheeler.
Promotions for the channel in 2013 touted the network's lack of commentary and focus on straight news reporting.
In July 2014, OAN relocated its news and production studios, moving from The Washington Times building to a new location at 101 Constitution Avenue NW, near the United States Capitol. This marked the end of OAN's relationship with The Washington Times, which had provided news and analysis.
In June 2019, OAN said that it reached 35 million homes Its website lists availability via DirecTV, Verizon Fios, AT&T U-verse, Prism TV, and other distributors. At the time, OAN had approximately 150 staff
At the beginning of 2020, it was reported that Trump allies were looking into purchasing OAN
