Channel Notifications for August
Relatively quiet. It seems like MGM and Reelz have been up there before.
Notice Appearing in USA today on August 18, 2015
AT&T's contracts with programmers for the content displayed on U-verse TV service periodically expire, or may be terminated, but are usually re-negotiated or extended with no interruption or change for our U-verse members. Additionally, from time to time it is necessary to change channel line-ups as well as television package contents. The programming changes set forth below may occur as follows:
August 2015:
As previously noticed, AT&T's contract with the programmer for the following channels is set to expire. While these channels will continue to be available to U-verse members so long as AT&T has the rights to carry them, if a reasonable agreement cannot be reached with the programmer the programming will no longer be available. AT&T may modify the channel location for the programming by moving them from their current channel location to a channel between 9501 – 9599, and if a reasonable longer term agreement cannot be reached with the programmers, we may lose the rights to carry them (listed in alphabetical order) in or after August 2015: WAPA (channel 3013).
September 2015:
As previously noticed, AT&T's contract with the programmer for the following channels is set to expire. While these channels will continue to be available to U-verse members so long as AT&T has the rights to carry them, if a reasonable agreement cannot be reached with the programmer the programming will no longer be available. AT&T may modify the channel location for the programming by moving them from their current channel location to a channel between 9501 – 9599, and if a reasonable longer term agreement cannot be reached with the programmers, we may lose the rights to carry in or after September 2015:
Effective September 22, KCSO-LP-33 (TEL) (channel 25/1025) might be removed from the Sacramento market.

AT&T may modify the channel location for the programming by moving them from their current channel location to a channel between 9501 – 9599, and if a reasonable longer term agreement cannot be reached with the programmers, we may lose the rights to carry them (listed in alphabetical order) in or after October 2015: The Filipino Channel (channel 3682), fuse (channel 535 and 1535 in HD), GSN - Game Show Network (channel 173 and 1173 in HD), HRTV (channel 672), MBC America (channel 3643), MGM HD (channel 1116), Reelz Channel (channel 799 and 1799 in HD), Saigon Broadcasting Television Network (channel 3662), Star India (channel 3706), TV Asia (channel 3703), TVB-V (channel 3664), TVBe (channel 3638), and Zee TV (channel 3702).

The potential loss of HRTV will cause a serious problem for horseracing fans since U-verse no longer carries the TVG Network.
As it seems from reading the forums, horseracing fans prefer TVG Network. A substitution of TVG Network for HRTV may take away some of the unhappiness if HRTV is no longer a part of the U-verse lineup after October, 2015.

Remember that's not all for these months, the official ATT listing still lists May, June and July, probably meaning many are still in play.

Maybe the best place to look to see everything for each month. From the June notice, there are another 20 or so channels listed for August.

But some users have posted they are seeing TVG horse racing on their local RSNs.

True. Some people are seeing TVG stuff on their RSNs. In addition, that stuff shouldn't be blacked out, making it available on HD Premium.
$10 for sports pack and TVG-SD or $7 for HD Premium? Unless I'm a die-hard race fan (and I know these OPWs are...), I'd rather pay $7 for the HD Premium....although I have a sneaky suspicion that stuff is in SD.

I have also seen TVG while flipping through the RSN's. However, the amount shown on these RSN's is probably not enough for true horseracing fans. They want everything that TVG has to offer.

It was a few hours each weekend days and they were glad to be getting it. 😉

If we lose HRTV, I will have to switch carriers. TVG bought out HRTV, and HRTV is no longer the premium horse racing channel. Why do we not get TVG? I am paying a lot for premium and not getting it anymore.

What is a local RSN? I only get occasional TVG with FOX Prime Sports HD. It's only on 2 hours today (Sat) which is the biggest racing day.

Your local RSN would be Fox Sports PrimeTicket and maybe Fox Sports West. Basically, anything from 1702-177x you'd get without subscribing to HD Premium.
