Nexstar Media Group and AT&T said they reached a deal that will end a two-month blackout of the broadcaster’s stations to AT&T’s pay-TV customers.
The deal covers about 97 markets and customers of DirecTV, AT&T Now and U-Verse. The deal means those viewers will be able to watch college and NFL games carried by WMBD, the CBS affiliate in Peoria.
“Our customers want more choice and value and we are pleased to deliver that through this new agreement with Nexstar and its many local stations,” said Rob Thun, Senior Vice President of Content and Programming, AT&T Communications.
The two companies said they regret the inconvenience incurred by customers, viewers and advertisers.
