'''DirecTV''' (stylized and trademarked as '''DIRECTV''') is an American multichannel video programming distributor that is perhaps most known for their digital satellite service. Founded on June 27, 1994, they were purchased by [[AT&T]] for $67.1 billion on July 24, 2015, but AT&T would later spin off the company, along with U-Verse TV and DirectTV Stream, into a separate entity and also sell a 30% stake to TPG Inc. while maintaining a 70% stake in the new company, which would go through on August 2, 2021.
