Customers
SAN ANTONIO, April 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- High definition TV
programming is fast becoming the nation's new must-have entertainment
enhancement, and qualifying AT&T video customers can now enjoy it free for
a year.
AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) today announced an offer for access to a market-
leading lineup of HD programming at no cost for 12 months to qualifying new
video customers within AT&T's traditional 22-state service area. New
subscribers to AT&T U-verse(SM) TV service, where it is available, or to
DIRECTV(R) Service, and AT&T | DISH Network(TM) service (which is offered
through Echostar) who mail in the required redemption forms, are eligible.
"With great values and access to such a robust lineup of HD content,
it's no surprise that consumers are turning to AT&T for their entertainment
services," said Rick Welday, chief marketing officer, AT&T Consumer
Marketing. "Free access to HD programming for a year gives consumers yet
another reason to select AT&T over the competition."
Through its U-verse TV service and relationships with DIRECTV and
Echostar, AT&T is offering access to a leading suite of HD programming, a
technology that with capable equipment can deliver rich and realistic video
and near movie theater-quality sound. AT&T U-verse TV receivers and DVR are
HD-enabled.
AT&T offers more than 25 channels of HD programming through its AT&T U-
verse TV service (where available) and up to 31 HD channels through AT&T
satellite video broadcast services, DIRECTV Service and AT&T | DISH Network
service. These HD lineups include premium movies, sports, news, home and
gardening, food, family programming, classic films and pay-per-view
channels.
The free access to HD programming offer, which is a value of up to
$240, is one of the first consumer promotions to be featured across the
AT&T 22- state footprint and is part of AT&T's efforts to deliver consumer
benefits following the AT&T-BellSouth merger in December 2006.
The AT&T satellite video broadcast entertainment offer through AT&T |
DISH Network is available now through May 31, 2007; through DIRECTV, the
offer is available through June 26, 2007; and the AT&T U-verse TV offer is
