DIRECTV ALL IN VIDEO
DIRECTV announced in August 3rd, 2021 that AT&T and TPG Capital have closed a previously announced agreement to establish DIRECTV as a video company separated.
Under this new company, DIRECTV owns and operates AT & T's former video business unit in the US and Puerto Rico. With the new company, there will be no changes to the products and services offered in Puerto Rico and DIRECTV's dedication to customer service remains a priority.
The new structure will allow greater focus, flexibility and resources to position the business to succeed in the long term, as well as to fulfill the commitment with current and potential clients, employees and shareholders.
"This is a watershed moment for DIRECTV as we return to a singular focus on delivering a stellar video experience," said Bill Morrow, CEO of DIRECTV. "Building on our recent momentum, we are well positioned to deliver unmatched options and value to all of our customers under one iconic brand, whether through traditional broadcast or streaming.
Over the next several months, DIRECTV will feature its bold new image prominently on all video services, and new and existing customers will experience it through multiple touchpoints.
