AT&T U-Verse Agrees To Carry EPIX

[dfergie]

By DAVID LIEBERMAN
Another step forward for EPIX in its campaign to persuade pay TV distributors to add its suite of premium channels to their line-ups. Per usual, this morning’s release doesn’t disclose the deal terms for AT&T‘s agreement to offer its 5.7M TV customers EPIX, EPIX 2, EPIX 3 and EPIX Drive-In. The package will cost $8 a month following a free preview over the July 25 weekend. EPIX — which is owned by Viacom, Lionsgate, and MGM — trumpets its large library of movies. It says that its subs on AT&T will be able to stream more than 3,000 titles via EPIX.com, its EPIX App, EPIX VOD and live feeds of the channel on Uverse.com and the U-verse apps.

Epix is now showing up on U-Verse EPG, channels 1891 (HD East), 1892 (HD West), 1893 (Epix 2 HD), 1894 (Epix 3 HD), 891 (SD East), 892 (SD West), 893 (Epix 2 SD), and 896 (Epix Drive-In SD). Channels are showing as non-subscribed (I have the U450 Package with all the HBOs, Cinemaxes, Showtimes, Movie Channels, Starzs, and Encores.)

I have the same package but I guess in order to get Epix it's another $8.00 a month. I was told it was included in the U-450 programming package so i guess I will call U-Verse tomorrow morning.
