Days after completing its monumental acquisition of Time Warner, AT&T is announcing a second streaming TV service that’s priced lower than the company’s existing DirecTV Now offering. The new service is called WatchTV, and it includes 31 channels at launch, with 6 networks from Viacom coming “soon after.” AT&T had confirmed the service was coming in recent weeks as it sought approval for the Time Warner deal.
Several Time Warner networks including Cartoon Network, CNN, TBS, TNT, and TCM are part of the programming bundle. But it also includes a few other popular networks including A&E, AMC, and HGTV. For now, WatchTV is available with AT&T’s latest and just-announced unlimited plans, Unlimited &More and Unlimited &More Premium. AT&T says 15,000 titles (a mix of TV shows and movies) will be available on-demand through the service.
