OAN feed to broadcast on Voice of America
One America News Network (OAN) has formed a partnership with voice of America (VOA) to provide its content for free. This collaboration follows an executive order by President Donald Trump aiming to reduce funding for the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which includes VOA and other state-run news agencies. However, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction to continue the agency’s operations. according to Kari Lake, a senior advisor at the agency, this partnership will benefit American taxpayers by providing more reliable news options without additional cost. OAN, which previously had its contract with DirecTV not renewed in 2022, broadcasts a important amount of live news across numerous stations and streams its content online. The association’s anchors, including former Rep. Matt Gaetz, are gradually gaining recognition within the media landscape.
OAN feed to broadcast on Voice of America
One America News Network has partnered with Voice of America to broadcast it’s content for free.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order in recent weeks that made sweeping cuts at the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees Voice of America and other state-funded news agencies such as Radio Free Asia that broadcast to authoritarian regimes. However, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth put preliminary injunction on the agency to keep it running.
The Office of Cuba Broadcasting made the suggestion to cooperate with OAN, according to United States Agency for Global Media senior advisor Kari Lake.
“This is an enormous benefit to the American taxpayer, who is the sole-source of funding for USAGM’s news outlets, which broadcast only to international audiences,” Lake said in a statement. “In my current role as Senior Advisor to USAGM, I don’t have editorial control over the content of VOA and OCB programming, but I can ensure our outlets have reliable and credible options as they work to craft their reporting and news programs. And every day I look for ways to save American taxpayers money. Bringing in OAN as a video/news source does both.”
OAN otherwise broadcasts its 18 hours of live news and 24/7 coverage via 85 broadcast stations across the country in addition to its own streaming app. Its cast of anchors were relatively unknown before joining the network. OAN originally existed among DirecTV’s channels, until the its parent company AT&T opted not to renew OAN’s contract in 2022, sparking a legal battle that is ongoing.

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz is among OAN’s cast of anchors, launching his own show shortly after leaving Congress. He responded to the new partnership online, writing “I’m not crying…..you’re crying…”
Last year, OAN was readmitted to the YouTube Partner Program and became eligible to monetize its channel with its over 1 million subscribers.
