AT&T to Retire DirecTV, U-Verse Names

[WoodysGirl]

AT&T plans to start stamping out the brand names of satellite provider DirecTV and its own U-Verse pay-TV brand next month.

The change is part of a new platform rollout under the AT&T Entertainment name, according to DSL Reports.

An AT&T spokesman told TheWrap that the company will be a corporate brand moving forward, but he added that the company will continue to use DirecTV as a product name for the foreseeable future, given its strength in the market.

What's the difference between Comcast, Xfinity and DirecTV? I think I have all three somehow.

Yall are hilarious!

And yeah, I don't get that article either. They're going to stop using the name DirecTV next month, but keep using the name for the foreseeable future. Is it just me, or is next month part of the foreseeable future for most people? lol. The article went on to say that they are considering stopping using the name DirecTV. Huh??

Is the author of this article really confused or is the one he interviewed huffing paint?
