AT&T Added More Than 200,000 Video Subs in Fourth Quarter, “Entirely Driven by DirecTV Now”

Telecom giant AT&T, which has agreed to acquire Time Warner for $85.4 billion, said in a regulatory filing on Friday that it will report “more than 200,000 video net adds” for its fourth quarter, with the figure being “entirely driven by DirecTV Now.” The company launched the streaming video service at the end of November and previously only said that its fourth-quarter earnings report would shed some light on the early subscriber performance.
