“Customers don’t think of HD as bonus content anymore. HD is now the norm,” said Dan York, executive vice president of content and programming, AT&T Converged Services. “Our customers expect the best when it comes to HD, and that’s why we continue to add more and more HD to our lineup. These new channels help us with important strategic content initiatives and give our U-verse TV customers access to more HD channels than their cable peers.”

U-verse TV HD customers now have access to Cartoon Network HD, MSNBC HD and TV One HD, and HD Premium Tier subscribers can now enjoy WFN: World Fishing Network HD.
