AT&T has begun marketing U-verse TV to Northern California communities in the Sacramento Valley, taking on Comcast in the region.
The telco said the service -- which provides more than 320 channels overall and 26 high-definition channels -- is now available in parts of the city of Sacramento, Sacramento County, Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Folsom, Gold River, Lincoln, Modesto, Rancho Cordova, Rocklin and Stockton.
AT&T received a statewide video franchise from California in March. It first rolled out service in the northern part of the state in December 2006, including parts of San Jose, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara and Cupertino.
As of the end of June, AT&T had 51,000 U-verse TV subscribers.
