DirecTV - Fox news and CNN blacked out!

[Monster]

Not sure what's going on, but both channels are blacked out with technical difficulties screens. Very odd. I've never seen this before. Anyone with DirecTV seeing this, too? I googled it and it looks like fox news was out yesterday, as well. CNN was fine until this morning.

Typically, I like to switch between the three big news channels in the morning, so this is odd.

Found an article. That's about it, though.

Looks like they are back. But still, very weird. I've never seen this happen before, especially with DirecTV.

They just started up their Directv Now "cord cutting service." Maybe that had something to do with it..

Maybe since they weren't able to get FOX back online right away, they pulled the plug on CNN - just to be balanced. And fair.
