“We’re always looking for new ways to give our customers the most value for their programming dollar. Adding Audience Network is a perfect way to do that,” said Dan York, AT&T’s chief content officer in a statement. “There is no better time to experience Audience Network’s compelling programming. Whether you’re a movie buff, a sports fan or a music enthusiast, Audience Network’s fall lineup has something for you.”
