AT&T exploring Deal to sell off DIRECTV.

[CSM]

Probably the only viable option for AT&T. Get out of the TV provider business altogether.

It sounds to me like AT&T really just wants to have HBO/Max as their main TV service.

Good luck in getting the movie on HBOMAX. I have tried 5 times since Christmas and only get an error message. They are just so Technology limited.

No issues here. The movie looked great in 4k Dolby Vision.

I'm watching it now. The acting feels cheesy.

Let's face it. These guys running AT&T don't know what the heck they are doing. Now they don't even have enough money to bid for more radio spectrum for their cellular business. That's why they are putting things are up for sale.

Lol. Have you see what they've done to the stock price? From $40 to $28 in one year! They are making their stockholders poor through bad decisions. It was $43 in 2016 when they took over.

For Dish.

Juan, the institutional investors are putting money into AT&T, not wringing money out. And they are losing their shirts as a result.

They are not losing anything....they are taking American wealth to other countries and investing there...you are too focused on just directv...when it is really something else

AT&T should take the lowball offer, streamline its business, and learn from its mistakes.

You are confusing AT&T Management with Institutional Investors.

The AT&T Management is making money hand over fist, but all the investors are losing.

Over the years working at DirecTV we were given lots of stock in the company and just before I retired ATT swapped DTV stock for ATT stock. Right after retirement I dumped the ATT stock and never looked back. I see now that was a good idea.
