Retransmission Consent

The agreement to settle the Federal lawsuit came after they agreed on a new carriage deal that prevented the blackout of 90 Nexstar stations and restored WPIX

The new multi-year agreement will restore 13 local stations in 10 markets and NewsNation to the Verizon FioS line-up

The ACA Connects filing regarding competition issues calls the market for retransmission consent “dire” but argues competition in the broadband market is "thriving"

The deal includes retransmission consent rights to Paramount’s TV stations and rights to carry its networks

The deal is an important step forward for Sinclair’s efforts to put its sports nets on a better financial footing

Agreement restored local Tegna stations to the Dish lineup on Friday Feb. 4 in time for Olympics coverage

Five Tegna stations have been removed from the line-ups of Verizon Fios TV, including WUSA in Washington D.C.

As part of the deal, which includes ABC owned stations, cable networks and streaming services, ESPN’S ACC Network will launch in coming weeks on Xfinity

In response, Tegna said the "complaint is utterly baseless and without merit" and that it "welcomes a chance for the FCC to review Dish's conduct over the course of this negotiation."

“Comcast has flouted the terms of the parties’” agreement and refused to pay “millions of dollars,” the suit said
