AT&T is planning to roll out a new streaming service – called AT&T TV – even as subscribers for its pay TV services such as DirecTV and U-Verse decline in number.
“It is currently unknown what will be different about AT&T TV, particularly compared to AT&T’s other streaming options such as DirecTV Now or its mobile Watch TV, which is bundled with certain unlimited wireless data plans and offers over 35 live channels including AT&T-owned TBS, TNT and CNN (Watch TV is also available as a standalone option for $15 per month),” reports tech news site CNET.
AT&T earlier had promised HBO Max to rival Netflix.
In discussing earnings, AT&T reported growth in wireless subscribers but drops on the TV side.
