AT&T Audience Network Adds Country Music to Winter Schedule

A number of country artists will be featured this winter on the AT&T Audience Network, a television channel available only to DIRECTV and AT&T U-verse subscribers.

Hank Williams Jr. will be part of the programming on Sunday (Jan. 17), followed by Ashley Monroe on Jan. 22, Jerrod Niemann on Feb. 5, Michael Ray on Feb. 12, Hunter Hayes on Feb. 19, and Kelsea Ballerini on Feb. 26.

Additional programming will include exclusive concerts, a series presented by Ernie Ball about influential guitarists, a music series filmed at Hollywood Guitar Center promoting breakthrough artists, new music documentaries and short-form programming.

“Audience Network will be the premier destination for music lovers this year,” said Christopher Long, senior vice president, Original Content and Production, AT&T. “We’re bringing extraordinary concerts and rare musical performances from artists of every genre into your home with the premium viewing experience that Audience Network is best known for.”

“We strongly believe that storytelling through music has a way to impact our audience, not just for entertainment, but in deeper meaningful ways,” said Bart Peters, vice president, development and production, AT&T. “We feel fortunate to be able to continue and expand upon our long tradition of music programming with this new slate of artists.”

The new slate of music programming will be filmed in ultra high definition 4K.
