AT&T (News - Alert) has announced that it is joining Team of Coco to enable its customers to watch their favorite comedian and late night show host in his "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop" documentary before it hits theaters – and only on AT&T screens.

 

The special edition of "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop" documentary will be offered for one day only on Thursday, June 23, on AT&T U-verse TV, on AT&T U-verse Online at www.att.net/conan and on smartphones with AT&T U-verse Mobile for 24 hours before the film's theatrical release on June 24. Beginning on June 24, only U-verse TV customers will be able to enjoy an exclusive U-verse Movie rental of "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop" (same day as theaters) for $8 (HD) or $7 (SD).

 

"We're always looking for unique and compelling content to deliver to U-verse customers across platforms, and Conan is no exception," said Dan York (News - Alert), president of content, AT&T.

 

York said that customers will be the first to see Conan in this comedic documentary and watch it on the device of their choice and that the company is excited to give its U-verse Facebook (News - Alert) fans extra access with exclusive documentary clips on their Facebook page and a chance to win a trip to LA to meet Conan.

 

“We're interested in partnering with other producers to bring more films and cross-platform content to AT&T customers in the future," York added.

 

AT&T continues to expand the ways for U-verse TV customers to enjoy and control their U-verse services, from wherever they are, with hit TV shows and integrated features available on U-verse TV, U-verse Mobile, U-verse Online and U-verse TV on Xbox 360.

 

AT&T U-verse Movies gives U-verse TV customers instant access to thousands of movies and new titles.

 

AT&T U-verse TV is viewed as Internet Protocol-based television (IPTV (News - Alert)) service offered by a national service provider, making AT&T U-verse one of the most dynamic and feature-rich services available today.
