Multiple ABC, Fox, NBC Affiliates Added to DirecTV Now Lineup

Dozens of ABC, NBC and Fox affiliates will join the DirecTV Now lineup starting this week, DirecTV said in a news release Friday. There was no mention of CBS in the announcement. AT&T said the added affiliates will more than double its number of supported local stations and will mean DirecTV now will have live local coverage for 70 percent of U.S. households. It said the additions include more than 30 ABC affiliates in markets such as Atlanta and Boston; four new NBC markets, including Salt Lake City and Milwaukee; and the Fox affiliate in Juneau, Alaska. AT&T said it expects to add further ABC, NBC and Fox channels through August.
