AT&T Launch Catch Up TV Website
Latest to get involved with internet tv are AT&T, who are launching a new entertainment website originally named – AT&T Entertainment.
The new site is concentrating on providing TV show streams and movies similar in style to Hulu, in fact taking content from them as well. Other content providers include ABC, NBC, CBS, CW, Syfy and Bravo with more to come.
Viewers are able to browse offerings including TV shows and movies by sorting alphabetically, by genre, or even searching by network or studio. The website is a free tv site available to all.
AT&T said in a statement:- “We know our customers want to be able to access their favorite content anytime, anywhere,” said Dan York, executive vice president of content and programming.
“AT&T Entertainment provides the one-stop destination to watch your favorite TV shows and movies on your PC, wherever you have a broadband connection. The site will grow and evolve to make more content available to consumers in new and better ways.”
The new website is part of their ‘three screen strategy’ setup to deliver streaming content to the PC, TV and other wireless devices. “We know our customers want to be able to access their favorite content anytime, anywhere,” said Dan York, the executive VP of content and programming at AT&T. “AT&T Entertainment provides the one-stop destination to watch your favorite TV shows and movies on your PC, wherever you have a broadband connection.

With the huge amount of very similar websites that churn out the same kind of syndicated content though, AT&T might find getting a market share is not so easy anymore.

The trouble is that most of the content appears to be the same stuff found on Hulu, but some things are missing like The Simpsons.
Yeah that is because thats all they have done. Taken stuff from other sites. How lame.
I read that an AT&T spokesperson said following
“At this time, none of the content is exclusive, but we’ll be adding content to the site on an ongoing basis, including online content that is part of our three-screen deals, which often includes exclusive or AT&T-produced content,”
That makes this site kinda worthless to me
