AT&T WatchTV Shutting Down

AT&T Watch TV Will Soon Shut Down as AT&T Focuses on HBO MAX - Cord Cutters News
AT&T is unsurprisingly killing their WatchTV streaming service soon. Hopefully they use this opportunity to clean up their TV name system from the confusing mess it's been like.

At this rate AT&T is going to have more abandoned projects than Google soon.

What is wrong with their leadership? They can't get anything right. Somebody needs to clean house, and fire the whole lot of them...

In my opinion, the company is too big and fragmented. Needs to be broken up again like it was in the 80's.

Yeah, their video services and branding are out of control. Way too many.

I look for the following to all die off in the coming few years, from soonest to latest:

AT&T Watch TV (2020)
Cinemax (2020)
Max Go (2020)
HBO Now (2020)
AT&T TV Now (2021)
HBO Go (2022?)
Uverse TV (2022?)
DirecTV (mid-2020s?)

The only brands/apps that they'll ultimately have will be HBO Max and AT&T TV.

They're still pushing DirecTV as a replacement for UVerse, at least in my region.

They can't seem to make up their mind here. One month they run specials on Uverse and the next month it is like you can't order it.

I can see ATT doing this, but I'd really like another source for that news.

For the most part, the guy who runs that site seems to scrape through Reddit and turn those topics into headlines that will generate clicks. In particular, there was a rumor thread on the ATT TV NOW sub-reddit, and suddenly a day later this "news" post comes out and he's the only one sourcing the story.
