3 Reasons AT&T Should Sell DirecTV
Five years ago, AT&T (NYSE: T) bought DirecTV for $49 billion to become the largest pay TV provider in the U.S. and the world. At the time, AT&T believed it could bundle DirecTV's satellite TV channels into its pay TV and wireline businesses. AT&T also launched DirecTV Now, a streaming bundle of channels meant to challenge Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) and other OTT platforms.

Better Buy: AT&T vs. American Tower
When it comes to high-yield but stable dividend payments, AT&T (NYSE: T) is a solid option. The company's acquisition of Time Warner (now the company's Warner Media group) was a high price tag that racked up significant debt, and the media business is now in decline due to the economic lockdown to halt the spread of COVID-19. For investors looking for income, then, American Tower (NYSE: AMT) may get overlooked.

Indeed, the idea that AT&T would be well-advised to sell its struggling satellite TV business has been in the back of a lot of investors' minds for a while now.

Reuters VideosAT&T launches pricier HBO Max to take on Netflix
HBO’s new streaming service, “HBO Max,” launched on Wednesday – joining the already-crowded streaming industry with the likes of Netflix, Disney, and Amazon. It has 10,000 hours of content and six original titles including this one, a romantic comedy starring Anna Kendrick. For HBO, which is owned by AT&T’s WarnerMedia division, the timing of the launch is critical. Streaming services have a captive audience right now, stuck at home without access to a theater, live music or televised sporting events. That situation helped Netflix add nearly 16 million new paying customers in the first three months of the year, more than double what it expected to attract. But with film and TV productions halted across the globe, HBO has postponed dozens of releases - most notably a “Friends” reunion special that it had originally planned for its launch. And if production doesn't resume by this fall, HBO Max could start to see a shortage of original content as early as January, according to a source familiar with the company. It has a $15 a month pricetag, a bit high compared to competitors, which may discourage some, as rising unemployment has cut disposable incomes. Still, WarnerMedia hopes to hit about 80 million subscribers by 2025.
