AT&T is not looking to sell DirecTV, John Stankey said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
“DirecTV is an important part of what we’re going to be doing going forward,” the WarnerMedia CEO said. Stankey’s comments to the WSJ come a week after the paper reported that AT&T was considering parting ways with DirecTV, either spinning the company off or selling it outright.
Stankey, who recently added the title of AT&T COO, in addition to his WarnerMedia duties, said that AT&T is simply looking at all of its options as part of a portfolio-wide review.
