AT&T U-verse customers no longer have access to HGTV, DIY Network, Food Network and other popular Scripps Networks cable television programming, after the companies couldn't reach a deal. Both companies issued statements on Friday blaming the other for the failed negotiations. The contract between Scripps and AT&T ended early this morning.
