CBS Dropped from DirectTV, AT&T U-verse
CBS and AT&T are in a red-hot battle over fees. And that means that the network has gone black for millions of satellite TV customers. CBS went off the air Saturday for millions of customers of DirecTV and AT&T U-verse and the DirecTV site indicates the outage is continuing. The blackout affects AT&T-owned satellite service in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and at least eleven other large cities across the U.S. The network and AT&T hurled accusations at each other for failure to agree on what they both feel is a fair price for CBS to be paid for its programming.
