Even though AT&amp;T failed to acquire the rights for CBS Network, it did not stop the Telco giant from launching DirecTV Now. And now, reports indicate that the two companies are trying to reach a settlement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moonves said, \u201c[DirecTV Now] is obviously something they&#8217;re going to lose money on initially. There&#8217;s no way it can last a whole long time at $35 for 80 channels.\u201d He added that the companies discussed many things other than the \u201ceconomic factors\u201d during the negotiations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At present, DirecTV Now subscribers who wish to access popular channels such as Cinemax and HBO need to pay an additional amount of $5 per month. However, Moonves confirmed that the network is not willing to offer CBS-owned Showtime at just $5 per month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">CBS CEO further added that there is a chance for CBS programming to air on the unannounced live streaming service from YouTube.
