CBS Corp. warned that it could get blacked out by AT&T Inc.’s DirecTV and U-verse if it’s unable to reach a new contract to supply its programming to the largest U.S. pay-TV provider.
AT&T “continues to propose unfair terms well below those agreed to by its competitors and may drop CBS unless we agree to those terms,” the network said on Tuesday.
