The latest on AT&T/Rainbow carriage dispute
The good news: That annoying crawl that AT&T was intermittently running across the top of U-verse channels implying that Rainbow Media was trying to take them away from viewers seems to have disappeared.
The bad news: It’s been replaced with Rainbow’s own crawl, this one creeping horizontally across the middle of the screen. “At any moment tonight,” it reads, “AT&T may drop AMC from your service.” It implores viewers to call a toll-free number to save “Mad Men and your favorite movies” (the season 4 premiere of “Mad Men” airs on July 25).
The two parties failed to come to a carriage agreement before the existing contract expired at midnight, but U-verse continues to show programming from IFC, WE TV and AMC. If you’re one of AT&T’s 2.3 million U-verse subscribers, stay tuned.
