US network CBS and cable-television provider Time Warner Cable have reached an agreement to end their programming dispute and resume broadcasts in the New York, Los Angeles and Dallas markets.
The disagreement started on August 2 and affected around 2.8 million homes across the three major broadcast markets.
The blackout affected the CBS network and CBS-owned channels including pay-television broadcaster CBS Sports Network.
TWC and CBS had been in dispute over how much the former would pay for the latter’s programming, with a major sticking point understood to be the retransmission fees the cable operator pays to CBS per subscriber.
Terms of the deal to lift the blackout were not disclosed, but programming resumed on all networks at 6pm ET on Monday.
Both parties had been under pressure to find a resolution to the dispute since the start of the US Open tennis tournament and with the new NFL American football season due to commence on Thursday. CBS is scheduled to broadcast six of the opening round of games on Sunday.
