AT&T has been on a carriage deal renewal spree. In late August, it unveiled a new partnership with HBO and Cinemax. On Sept. 8, it announced a deal with Discovery Communications, on Sept. 13, a new pact with NBCUniversal followed, and on Tuesday, it unveiled a deal with Turner. One of the reasons behind the slew of renewals is the company’s planned launch of three streaming video services next quarter.
