Large vertical colored bars when watching TV

OK here we go again. Fox News is not on Uverse again. No other channel has these problems. Newsmax and OAN got dropped recently over "business decision". ATT need to fix these "technical difficulties" or start losing subscribers.!

There is no such thing as coincidences.

All,

We’re aware of some technical difficulties impacting several channels caused by severe weather conditions at our transmission facilities. We’ve already restored full service to many customers and are working to resolve this for others soon.

Thanks!

OK at 5:13 pm 02/08/2023 EST Fox News went to test color bar on U-verse and suspect Direct TV as well. Checked against app and it works fine. Checked other channels all fine.

We have the color bars too.

We're already considering switch after losing OAN and Newsmax, if this isn't fixed soon we will definitely be leaving AT&T ASAP.

Fox is broadcasting, they're live on their webpage.

Fox News and Fox Business channels went to "test color bar" on U-verse. I can see the programs in the Guide viewing screen, but when I select the channel ... it goes to "test color bar" again. 

All other channels seem to be fine.

Been watching Fox News all day. I can see live Fox using menu button on remote. When I enter to go to that channel (1210) I only have colored vertical bars on that station. What happened?

If it was a carriage contract issue, there'd be a blue screen with a message and other Fox-owned channels (such as Fox Business and FS1) would also have that same message.

The message would also appear overnight and not at a random time during the day.
