El Rey / Fusion gone?

I just got a message telling me El Rey and Fusion are gone. It said to go to att.com/channelupdate (or something like that) for more info. I got a 404, so clearly misremembered the URL. What gives?

I just found out as of 1-20-20 that El Rey will no longer be on Directv. Since this is the only reason I pay an extra $85 a month for the ultimate package, I can now downgrade to choice and save that extra $85 a month and no longer pay $200 a month for tv. Thanks Directv for saving me that money.

Lowering package will save cost, going from Ultimate to Choice is not an $85 difference but about $25. Still a good savings though.

I’m just going by what AT&T customer service told me that my bill would go from $200 a month to $114 a month by going to choice

That agent either was offering some impressive discount on top of the package change (unlikely since discounts have been reeled in), or simply misquoted (on purpose or by mistake). Even Premier (the most expensive current package) is only $79 more than Choice as includes all 5 premium packs. Ultimate and Choice are $25 apart.
