CBS programming went dark early Saturday morning for millions of viewers using AT&T’s DirecTV and U-verse after the two companies failed to agree on a new distribution deal.
CBS announced that starting at 2 a.m. Saturday, AT&T would no longer include CBS-owned television stations in the channel lineups of millions of DirecTV, DirecTV Now and U-verse TV customers in several major cities and had passed over 117 CBS stations and affiliates for DirecTV Now.
