With everything going streaming what's the future of this channel? AT&T now have various other platforms to broadcast content. All it really has going for it is Mr Mercedes. It is also only available to U Verse/Directv. It will hardly last much longer. Mr Mercedes will probably move to HBO Max. Any new content planned for this channel?

Rich Eisen Radio Show.
They have lots of sports on Audience still.
Audience is to transition to a HBO Max Preview Channel.
So is the actual name 'HBO Max Preview Channel? What will it show? Just an episode or two of HBO Max original series on a loop?

Well that's just stupid. Audience was a great network with content. Why change it.
What the hell is hbo max like a separate channel or some kind of app. That is ridiculous they had sports and could have sworn they had contracts to air certain teams on it periodically. That is a stupid move dropping the channel in was in at least 50 million homes I believe.
HBO Max is AT&T's version of Netflix and Disney Plus.
Nope...more like 26 million, which is pretty small.
As far as I know, Audience was/is only on DirecTV.
It was added to Uverse after the merger.
Not for long. Dan Patrick has mentioned on his radio show that he's now a "TV free agent," although his show is still on Audience for the time being.
He mentioned they are on the air until the end of February.
I think they pulled the plug on Audience after the deals were signed. Why would DP build out a brand new studio if they were going to pull the plug in a year.
if I'm running the WarnerMedia/Turner Networks side of things, I would find a way to have the Dan Patrick & Rich Eisen radio show be broadcast on TV on either TNT, TBS or TruTV or even HLN under a HLN Sports special.
cause losing the TV rights of these shows to FS1 and NBCSN would be bad.

I doubt NBCSN would bring back DP. Since they cut ties with the show last year. FS2 seems viable. They need content.
Sounds like the decision has already been made. AT&T didn't renew them.
but they had long term renewals in place last year. So did AT&T break a contract.
