Just last week Trevor Noah’s "The Daily Show" was in danger of being canned until Trev himself stepped in to ask his fans to please save the show.
And of course he took to tweetosphere to get the word out by posting a video with the caption: "AT&T-DIRECTV is about to drop Comedy Central and up to 22 other channels. If that happens, you won’t be able to watch The Daily Show with me! Call 888-250-5557 and tell AT&T-DIRECTV to keep Comedy Central. Go to (link: http://keepviacom.com) keepviacom.com for more info. #keepviacom".

Well, congrats Trevor, it seems to have worked as the official Viacom Twitter page posted that a deal had been struck between AT&T Direct and Viaco, stating that their contract has been renewed and that Viacom services will continue to be available on AT&T platforms & products.
We're pleased to announce a renewed Viacom-AT&T contract with continued carriage of Viacom services across multiple AT&T platforms & products. The deal brings AT&T customers more choice & improved value for Viacom content. We expect to share more details in the near future.
