Reason: the way sports TV rights are negotiated, only those sports channels that show a region's home teams (FS West and Prime Ticket in our case) will be shown without any blackouts. If AT&T includes all those sports channels listed, they would have to black out all pro sports, much like DirecTV does. It's not their fault - sports teams only bid rights for their home region only, with the league negotiating "out of market" rights, hence all the pay per view sports packages out there. My take: AT&T is listing those channels that they have negotiated carriage for, not taking into account regional availability. That does not necessarily mean all the sports channels listed will be available here. (BTW, Prime Ticket was on the list ... what about FS West?)
