AT&T Inc. is working with advisers on a possible public offering of its Latin American pay-television assets, according to people familiar with the matter, potentially getting funds to reduce debt from its planned takeover of Time Warner Inc.

The largest U.S. pay-TV company hasn’t made a final decision about what to do with the businesses, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the deliberations are private. AT&T hasn’t held talks with potential buyers to sell the operations, the people said.
