Viacom warns customers its channels may stop airing on DirecTV
Viacom Inc said on Tuesday it had begun warning DirecTV`s 24 million subscribers its channels could stop being shown on the AT&T Inc-owned satellite TV service if it fails to reach a new contract by midnight March 22.
Viacom, the owner of MTV, Nickelodeon, BET, and Comedy Central, accused AT&T of abusing its powers after buying Time Warner Inc, which owns the Warner Bros Hollywood studios and HBO premium cable network. Image source: Reuters
