AT&T Watch Skinny Bundle Doesn't Go Far Enough, PTC Says

The forthcoming AT&T Watch streaming skinny bundle service (see 1804190027) doesn't go far enough in allowing consumer choice, the Parents TV Council said Friday. It called the sports-less service "much ado about nothing" from MVPDs and said consumers instead need the ability to individually choose networks they want to buy. AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson's U.S. v. AT&T and Time Warner testimony about AT&T Watch Thursday shows MVPDs "could unbundle if they wanted to," PTC said. AT&T didn't comment. PTC previously said AT&T should allow a la carte DirecTV video service to get DOJ approval to buy TW.
