We are? For real? Last I heard, it was in negotiations...or is this sarcasm?

It's on the list....

"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 December 2016: AXS TV (channel 1106 in HD),"

From Wikipedia:

On October 1, 2016, Dish Network removed the channel from the lineup. As with their earlier dropping of Cloo, the provider justified it by stating that Esquire's schedule is made up of programming also easily found on USA Network, WGN America and Ion Television, along with streaming providers. The only notice of the dropping was through the provider's monthly billing statement. AT&T has also given notice that Esquire network will be dropped from U-verse and DirecTV on December 15.[11]

Why is my chiller channel gone? Did they move it out o a higher package?

unacceptable.  we acclimate to the channels on the package we pay for, then on occasion channels are moved to another package to force a package upgrade. this is basic bait-and-switch tactics.  my wife watched Logo for 4 years and it disappeared.  when the foreigners that handle the support calls don't know what happened they say it was only a promotion that is over which is a distinct lie.  now we've whatched Chiller for 5 years and another support agent lied again saying it was a promotion and we can upgrade to U300.  customers are fed-up, or at least my family is fed-up.   we are ONE customer paying $1,395.24 per year to get screwed under AT&T's terms.  Grade "C-" U-Verse service terms.

Furthermore, when a support agent has no answer and cannot help, upon me requesting to be transferred to an american, instead i am put on hold with no intention to be transferred.  as i customer i am forged to hold until i rage-quit.

AT&T practices WILL cause them to LOSE customers. ...Sling TV, Hulu, etc, DO exist.
 

1 hour 22 minutes i waited to be "transferred" -- did not rage-quit, voice came online and said "just hang up" and hung up on me  Grade "F" ATT U-Verse support service.

Speaking of asking for an American, I do the same thing.  Or I just hang up and call back until I get an American.  I don't think AT&T should be employing these foreigners who cannot speak the English language well.  I HATE talking to those people!  And they are as dumb as a box of rocks!  Hire AMERICANS ONLY!  But since those foreign people are so stupid to work for the terrible low wages that AT&T pays them, it won't happen.  Americans demand a fair living wage and rich "Uncle Scrooge" AT&T does not like that!  In the end, all this outsourcing will destroy America.

Weather on Demand is GONE.  Chiller was moved to U300.
