OANN, or One America News Network is a ultra right wing/ultra nationalist/conspiracy theory spreading TV news network that seeks to divide our country by spreading disinformation about Democrats, liberals and the left. It was initially started a partnership between the Washington Times (not Post) newspaper, which was at the time owned by Sun Myung Moon, the cult leader of the "Moonies" fame, and Robert Harring Sr., who since 2017 has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Republican candidates and Trump loyalists.

The Poynter (The Poynter Institute for Media Studies is a non-profit journalism school and research organization in St. Petersburg, Florida.) describes OAN in the following manner:
💥💥💥 "One America News Network might not have the viewers of some of the major cable news networks such as CNN or Fox News. But it is well known for one thing:
Its unwavering, almost cult-like support of former President Donald Trump.
Terms such as “far right” and “conservative” don’t go far enough in describing OAN’s ideology. Compared to OAN, Fox News almost looks liberal. And that’s what OAN has tapped into for the past few years — they’re the network for those who don’t think Fox News is conservative enough. They see themselves as the network for the true Trump supporters. They want to be the network that stands up for those who (falsely, it should be noted) believe in the baseless conspiracies about a rigged 2020 presidential election and COVID-19."

This, and other right wing networks are leading to the political discourse in America and are spreading FUD (fear, uncertainty, an doubt) to it's audience in an attempt make one side of the aisle look as good as possible, while making the other side look as bad as possible. This possesses an existential threat to American democracy as many people are inclined to believe, or actually act on the information being broadcast. My theories include:
⭐ 1. That this either a network with foreign ties to spread black/white propaganda (not racial, those are the terms for it).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_propaganda
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_propaganda
⭐ 2. They are trying to do everything to discredit and spread so many lies about the Democratic party, they will lose future elections. This a complete violation and abusing free speech to spread lies and falsehoods that are constantly debunked, but the right refuses to believe them.
⭐ 3. They are trying to start a 2nd Civil War. With their rhetorical that "liberals, radical leftists, Marxists, socialists (they don't seem to know or care about the difference between these groups) are trying to do every evil thing in the book and hopes the audience will pick up the message and work towards dismantling democracy and creating some sort of theocratic or authoritarian government with Trump as their leader. Just take a look at the SPLC's Hate Map of organized militia and hate groups and you will see just how many there are and how they are setup. They are well armed and they want anyone with ideals they consider on the left dead. https://www.splcenter.org/hate-map
What You Can Do
---------------
If you live in one of the states listed below, call those cable providers and tell them you want OANN off the air. Start a change.org petition (or see if one for this station doesn't exist first - check the bottom of the article first, there are couple that are kind of floundering) and broadcast it. If your state isn't listed below, it's become it wasn't found on OANN's "Where to Watch Website" https://www.oann.com/wheretowatch/. However, that doesn't mean it's still not on all the major corporate networks (which are listed towards the bottom).
Please note, I have not tested these phone numbers or contact information, so if you come across anything wrong, please leave a comment in the Disqus commenting system below or send me a tweet @pogue25 on Twitter.

So, that is a list of the local providers offering OANN in each state, as well as through streaming services on the top link. Please note: I have not checked these numbers for accuracy or verification, although I did get the directly off their webste.
But, we also must remember that OANN is carried by the big cable providers such as:

🚨🚨🚨 NOTE: These sites WILL sign you up for their mailing lists, so you may want to look into using temporary/diposable/burner email address. https://alternativeto.net/software/spamgourmet/
Even if you are NOT an AT&T customer I would try and see if you can file one about their continued support for this right wing cess pit and ask them to pull it off their network. I'm not sure what kind of information it asks you though.
You can also file a complaint with the FCC & FTC:
https://broadbandnow.com/guides/how-to-file-fcc-ftc-internet-complaint
FCC Complaints: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us
FTC Complaint: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/
If your cable provider, or the cable provider you contacted refuses to drop OAN, file a complaint with the BBB https://www.bbb.org/
Unfortunately, the FCC's scope to look into fraudulent reporting is limited.
https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/complaints-about-broadcast-journalism
Although one of their quotes on their website is "What responsibilities do broadcasters have? Broadcasters may not intentionally distort the news. The FCC states that rigging or slanting the news is a most heinous act against the public interest."
As well as:
"Broadcasting false information that causes substantial 'public harm'
The FCC prohibits broadcasting false information about a crime or a catastrophe if the broadcaster knows the information is false and will cause substantial "public harm" if aired.
FCC rules specifically say that the "public harm must begin immediately, and cause direct and actual damage to property or to the health or safety of the general public, or diversion of law enforcement or other public health and safety authorities from their duties."
Broadcasters may air disclaimers that clearly characterize programming as fiction to avoid violating FCC rules about public harm.
Broadcasting false content during news programming
The FCC is prohibited by law from engaging in censorship or infringing on First Amendment rights of the press. It is, however, illegal for broadcasters to intentionally distort the news, and the FCC may act on complaints if there is documented evidence of such behavior from persons with direct personal knowledge. For more information, please see our consumer guide, Complaints About Broadcast Journalism."
https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/broadcasting-false-information
So, I have no idea how the information broadcast by TV news sources doesn't qualify under this provision.
