Live Feeds, On-Demand Footage Available Across AT&T U-verse TV, Broadband and Wireless Services
From the first swing to the last putt, AT&T* is delivering more ways for golf fans to watch the 2009 Masters Tournament with all three AT&T screens — the TV, the PC and the wireless device. AT&T today announced its complete three-screen coverage of the 2009 Masters Tournament, available on AT&T U-verseSM TV, the AT&T FanZone (http://fanzone.att.net/) and exclusively on AT&T wireless devices, as well as a special 2009 Masters interactive application for all U-verse TV customers.
Under an agreement with the Masters, AT&T will be providing golf fans with extensive live footage and on-demand content from Augusta National across the three screens that matter most to consumers. AT&T wireless customers will also be the only fans with access to live and on-demand Masters programming from their wireless devices with AT&T Mobile TV, MobiTV and Cellular Video (CV) services.
"When you're a true fan, you need and expect access to the latest sports news and video across all your favorite devices, and AT&T is the only provider delivering that today," said Dan York, executive vice president of content and programming, AT&T Converged Services. "Through our agreement with the Masters, we're able to deliver more content to more consumers in more places than ever before, and make it more interactive with a free app available on U-verse TV."
This year, U-verse TV customers will have more ways to follow the tournament with the 2009 Masters app, which features an up to date Leaderboard, player scorecards, stats and bios, news updates, tournament photos, video archives and a course map of Augusta National Golf Club. The U-verse TV interactive app will also give customers the ability to browse a mosaic of channels showing live Masters content at once, and will be available to all U-verse TV customers at no extra charge on channel 619 during the tournament.
AT&T's wireless customers can also text GOLF to 21234 to receive customized news alerts on the 2009 Masters Golf Tournament and other golf events. Standard text message rates apply. AT&T wireless customers will also be able to access a top-five Leaderboard available through the AT&T MEdia™ Net on-device portal.
