Awful Announcing
"This deal strengthens our NFL relationship as it includes expanded carriage of NFL Network and all the best action from Sunday’s games with NFL RedZone, which is now available to customers across all three DIRECTV platforms."
This move gives AT&T some cash to pay down debt, and may have other flexibility benefits for both AT&T and the new DirecTV entity.
Disney-owned networks with college football games on Saturday include ESPN, ABC, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, and ACC Network.
Carriage disputes are causing more than 12,000 lost subscribers a day for AT&T. Ouch.
NFL Network has returned to DirecTV Now, just a few weeks after it was dropped from the streaming service.
