Russian state-sponsored propaganda channel RT America is 'ceasing production.'
, DirecTV had already been looking at whether to renew its contract with RT America, which was set to expire this year. But current events accelerated the process, with the company saying in a statement, “In line with our previous agreement with RT America, we are accelerating this year’s contract expiration timeline and will no longer offer their programming effective immediately.”
Along with DirecTV’s decision, the National Association of Broadcasters issued a statement Tuesday, March 1, urging its members to stop airing state-sponsored Russia programming . “While the First Amendment protects freedom of speech, however, it does not prevent private actors from exercising sound, moral judgment,” said NAB President Curtis LeGeyt.
The mounting pressure to cut off RT America and other outlets in America comes as providers and distributors take action across Europe.
