AT&T has also updated the U-verse App to work with the Apple Watch, whereby the connected device can serve as a remote control, receive notifications about upcoming programming and manage DVR recordings. AT&T joins Comcast and DirecTV among MVPDs that have launched apps optimized for the Apple Watch. Programmers such as ABC News, ESPN, BET, CNN, Nick Jr. and CNBC have also launched Apple Watch apps.
