DALLAS, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AT&T U-verse(SM) TV customers have a new way to follow Team USA™ as they compete for the gold during NBC Universal's 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games.

AT&T* today launched the U-verse NBC Olympics Application, a new TV app that lets you watch up to four different channels featuring Olympic content on your screen at one time. The app also provides NBC Olympics athlete bios, event schedules, and the latest headlines and medal counts straight from Vancouver to your U-verse TV screen.

"U-verse TV customers have a better way to watch world-class athletes compete at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games from this convenient and easy-to-use app," said Jeff Weber, AT&T vice president of video products. "Watch four events at one time, or catch up on the latest Vancouver news without leaving the comfort of your couch. The Olympic Games only air every two years, and our app offers an exciting way to follow NBC's coverage of this prestigious event."

With the U-verse NBC Olympics Application, you can choose which of the four channels appears as the main picture, and easily select and interact with channels featuring Olympic Games content from within the Multiview. The app is available on channel 85 to all U-verse TV customers at no extra charge.

AT&T introduced the award-winning Multiview app in fall 2009. U-verse TV customers receive Sports Multiview, Kids Multiview and News Multiview at no extra cost as part of every package.

AT&T, proud sponsor of the U.S. Olympic Team, includes many features that help Team USA fans wanting to catch every exciting Olympic moment.
