OANN, or One America News Network, was launched in 2010 and has recently gained popularity as a conservative news channel. OANN’s right-wing perception as well as the op-ed nature of the content it provides makes it popular among the audiences who seek an option to cable news outlets. If you have Dish Network and want to know how to watch OANN, this article will provide you with all the necessary information about the channel position on the system.
Where to Watch OANN on Dish Network Channels
OANN can be viewed on Dish Network, specifically, on channel 231 with high definition. The standard definition feed of OANN is on channel 206 of the given television provider. The exact availability of these channel slots may depend on which Dish package you subscribe to, but OANN HD is usually on 231 while OANN SD on 206 for most Dish subscribers.
Which Dish Packages Does OANN Come with?
At the moment, in order to get OANN on Dish Network one has to be subscribed to America’s Top 120+ package or a package of higher tier. This platform is also not offered as part of Dish’s cheaper tier packages such as the America’s Top 120 or the Flex Pack.
Therefore, if you have America’s Top 120+, America’s Top 200, America’s Top 250 and America’s everything pack, OANN should be easily available in your Dish channel, on channel 231 in high definition. Others subscribe to America’s Top 120 and therefore they will have to change their package to access the channel.
Is there an additional fee for OANN?
It is important to note that at the time of writing this article, there are no other out of pocket costs for subscribing to OANN if one is already a Dish Network customer with an appropriate package. However, America’s Top 120+ and above all offer OANN HD at no additional monthly fee. Therefore, if you subscribe to one of the Dish’s qualified programming packages, you will not incur additional charges if you start watching OANN.
Of course, you will have to first pay the initial cost for the basic tier that already has OANN included in it. However, there are no unique a la carte service charges for OANN content only.
Streaming Options for OANN
Other than the conventional satellite channel, the OANN is also offered to Dish clients via the Dish Anywhere application. Dish Anywhere enables you to live stream stations accessible with your account, with OANN included. This option enables OANN streaming on phones, tablets, computers, and connected TV devices when not using the Dish satellite receiver.
The Dish Anywhere app means that you have to connect your Hopper or Wally receiver to the internet for live streaming. It is crucial to verify that your DVR and account are correctly configured to stream OANN to your device using Dish Anywhere. There is no additional charge for streaming for those customers who are properly equipped.
Another internet TV service provider that offers OANN in its list of channels is KlowdTV. Although KlowdTV is not affiliated with Dish, it is a streaming service that provides OANN. It could also function as a secondary means of viewing the news channel via the internet. However, it is very important to note that KlowdTV is not the same as Dish Anywhere and has an additional monthly fee.
Converting from the current tier, America’s Top 120+
For Dish viewers who have not been able to get OANN with their current package, upgrading to Dish America’s Top 120+ package will enable them to access OANN. However, this switch does come with jumping to a higher monthly price. As of early 2023, the package called America’s Top 120+ costs $69. 99 a month, whereas the packages that are ranked lower, such as Flex Pack and America’s Top 120, cost $59. 99 on average.
So you can expect to pay roughly $10 more to upgrade to a package that allows you to receive OANN. But that might be worth it for die-hard OANN viewers on Dish who want to see the conservative news channel added to their list. You only need to contact Dish customer service about changing the programming when you are willing to upgrade packages.
In Summary
For those viewers who have Dish Network, OANN is on channel 231 for High Definition and 206 for Standard Definition if they have America’s Top 120+ package. The channel is offered complimentary with qualifying Dish packages for the viewers to access the channel. OANN programming can be viewed either through satellite receiver tuning or through Dish Anywhere mobile streaming. Viewers without appropriate Dish plans can switch to America’s Top 120+ to get access if they so wish. Hence, watching One America News Network is easily possible for nearly all Dish customers who are will to pay for the right packages.
