Dish Network?s 14 million TV subscribers, who were no longer receiving AMC shows because of a legal battle, can stop groaning as loudly as zombies now. AMC Networks and Cablevision settled their dispute with Dish on Sunday, just in time for a new episode of AMC?s zombie drama The Walking Dead.
Dish had stopped broadcasting AMC programming on July 1 after public and heated carriage negotiations.
Sunday?s settlement reveals Dish will pay $700 million in cash for the distribution deal.
?We are glad to have settled the case and re-established our long-term relationships with AMC Networks and Cablevision,? Dave Shull, Dish?s senior vice president of programming, said in a statement. ?This multi-year deal delivers a fair value for both parties and includes digital expansion opportunities for AMC Networks? programming.?
An accompanying agreement had the AMC channel return Sunday, while other programming ? Sundance Channel, WE, IFC and Fuse ? will resume Nov. 1.
Meanwhile, AMC?s CEO and president Josh Sapan said, ?We are glad to partner again with Dish Network, and are delighted to bring back our popular channels and programming to their customers.?
Last week, AMC let Dish subscribers watch the season 3 premiere of The Walking Dead on the web.
The settlement ends the years-long litigation between Cablevision/AMC and Dish/Voom HD Holdings.
People immediately reacted to the settlement announcement on Twitter, with some spouting humor:
