AT&T Launches Entertainment Portal

AT&T is getting into the online content business with the launch of its new website AT&T Entertainment. TheWeb site allows users to watch thousands of streaming TV shows and movies on their PCs. The online content, provided by numerous content providers including ABC and NBC Universal, CBS Interactive and dozens more, is available to all consumers at www.entertainment.att.net.

By delivering video entertainment to your PC, the new site is part of AT&T’s strategy to make popular content available to consumers across the three screens at the center of their lives — the TV, PC and wireless phone. AT&T plans to add more TV programs and movies from other leading providers in the coming months.

At AT&T Entertainment, fans can view thousands of TV shows after their initial network airing and movies from a variety of networks and studios, including ABC, Bravo, CBS Entertainment, CBS News, CNBC, NBC, Oxygen, Syfy, The CW, USA Network and more. Consumers can easily find content by browsing TV shows and movies alphabetically, by genre, or by network or studio. The site is open to any user; you do not have to be an AT&T customer to enjoy watching shows on the site.

AT&T "U-verse" TV and Internet customers who visit AT&T Entertainment can sign in to access U-verse "Web Remote Access," a popular application that allows customers to schedule and manage DVR recordings directly from their PC. U-verse Web Remote Access has been available through the att.net portal since 2006.
