DirecTV, a privately owned company by AT&T and TPG Growth, headquartered in the US, was founded in 1994. With an estimated 14,210 employees, it reported $15.0B in revenue as of 2024. The company operates as a multi-platform pay TV operator, specializing in media and TV services delivered via satellite, fibre, and OTT services across the US.
On July 23, 2026, US pay-TV operator DirecTV and a coalition of 13 states filed a motion to enforce a ruling aimed at preventing broadcast stations group Nexstar from integrating rival outfit Tegna, with which it had agreed a merger deal earlier in the year. This action followed a federal judge's denial on July 21 of a motion by Nexstar White Knight and Mission Broadcasting to dismiss DirecTV’s antitrust case against them. Separately, DirecTV introduced new Genre Packs on July 16, including MyNews, MyEntertainment, MySports, and MiEspanol, designed to provide US customers with increased choice, flexibility, and lower costs. Previously, on July 14, DirecTV struck a new multi-year agreement with E.W. Scripps, resolving a five-week blackout of Scripps channels and returning 54 local broadcast stations to DirecTV’s streaming, satellite, and U-verse customers. E.W. Scripps had confirmed this retransmission consent agreement with DirecTV on July 13, noting it completed the company's three largest cable and satellite distribution renewals of 2026.
