Dish Network has announced that they’ve reached a carriage agreement with Sinclair Broadcast Group which will restore the 129 local TV stations that were blacked out late last night. In a statement today, Dish said that FCC chairman Tom Wheeler’s comments helped bring both sides to a deal. Wheeler had ordered an emergency meeting between the two sides to work out the dispout.
“We are grateful for the FCC’s work on behalf of consumers to actively broker a productive path forward,” said Dish executive Jeff Blum.”
“We will not stand idly by while millions of consumers in 79 markets across the country are being denied access to local programming,” Wheeler had said in public comments. “The Commission will always act within the scope of its authority if it emerges that improper conduct is preventing a commercial resolution of the dispute.”
