AT&T Subs Can Watch Cubs From Any View
By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (May 11, 2011) -- AT&T U-Verse subscribers in Chicago can now watch the Chicago Cubs lose via the camera angle of their choosing.

To be less glib, AT&T and WGN American, which has the rights to broadcast Cubs games, has launched a new interactive app that allows U-Verse viewers to pick which camera angle to watch during the game.

Called Chicago Cubs Multiview, the feature is only available in the Chicago area but it includes the normal WGN feed as well as six alternate camera views.

The multi-view feature, which has long been a favorite of Interactive TV enthusiasts, has become more popular with the mainstream in recent years. DIRECTV has used it to present different camera angles of The Masters golf tournament and the Wimbledon tennis tournament.

In Chicago, U-Verse customers who subscribe to the service's U100 package and above can use the app. The multi-view feature debuted last night during the Cubs-Cardinals game.

Yes, the Cardinals won, 6-4, bringing the Cubs record to 15-19.
