Immediately after the announcement, Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks, which both broadcast Current TV to nine million American homes, announced they would be dropping the channel, but said they would consider airing Al Jazeera America. It was previously reported in April 2012 that Time Warner and Bright House were considering to drop the channel due to low ratings. Al Jazeera America still replaced Current TV on Comcast, Dish Network, Verizon and DirecTV. AT&T dropped Current TV the morning before it changed to Al Jazeera America prompting a lawsuit for breach of contract from Al Jazeera Media Network. Time Warner and Bright House later added Al Jazeera America on December 6, 2013 after a new deal was signed 2 months earlier. AT&T would add the channel on June 27, 2014.
