One America News Network (abbreviated as OANN, commonly referred to as One America News (abbreviated as OAN)) is an American cable news television channel that is owned by the Herring Networks, Inc. The network is headquartered in San Diego, California, and operates news bureaus in Washington, D.C., and New York City. Originally envisioned as a conservative news network, OAN's stated focus is delivering a credible source of national and international news 24/7. OAN also features political analysis programming and political talk shows, along with network special documentary-style reports; its news coverage attempts to maintain objectivity while its political shows illustrate a stronger conservative lean.

OANN was announced on March 14, 2013, by Herring Networks, Inc., a family-owned national video programming company, which also owns sister channel AWE. The OAN channel debuted in partnership with The Washington Times. OAN president Charles Herring said in 2013 that, under OAN's agreement with the Washington Times, the new network could use any Times content, but was not obligated to do so; he also said at the time that between 60-65 Herring Broadcasting employees spent "most of their days" on One America.

Herring told the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference that "Fox News has done a great job serving the center-right and independent audiences", but that the audience's alternative news sources lacked.

In July 2014, OAN relocated its news and production studios to 101 Constitution Avenue NW, near the Capitol.

In June 2019, OANN said that it reached 35 million homes. Its website lists availability via DIRECTV, Verizon Fios, AT&T U-verse, Prism TV, and other distributors. At the time, OAN had approximately 150 staff.

In August 2014, OAN launched the show On Point with Tomi Lahren. Many clips from the program went viral, and by 2015, Lahren had gained widespread attention for her commentaries. On August 19, 2015, Lahren aired her final show at OAN. On the week of August 24, former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin guest hosted a program on the network.

In 2019, the channel aired the Canadian television film Claws of the Red Dragon, which had signed Steve Bannon as its American distributor.

Americans are starved for a credible source of news delivering substance based on facts. One America News Network proves that is a trustworthy destination for national and international news. In addition, the network’s political talk shows offer substantive contrarian viewpoints to a plethora of left-leaning shouting-style political news programs. The network’s studio talk programs debate the role of government, protection of civil liberties, fiscal responsibility, along with highlighting political corruption and government waste.
