DISH Network has announced that it reached a new, multi-year carriage agreement with Nexstar Media Group.
The agreement restores Nexstar’s 164 local television stations across the country and Nexstar’s wholly-owned cable network, WGN America, to DISH Network’s programming line-up. WGN America will also launch on DISH’s streaming service, Sling TV, in early 2021. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
The agreement means that more than 5 million DISH subscribers will again have access to the highly-rated network and local entertainment, sports, and news programming provided by Nexstar television stations and by WGN America, home of the country’s only live prime-time national newscast, NewsNation.
Nexstar’s local television stations and WGN America had been off DISH Network’s satellite system since Dec. 2. The agreement provides DISH TV subscribers nationwide the ability to tune in to Nexstar-owned programming, including news, entertainment and sports.
Brian Neylon, Group President, DISH TV
We're pleased to have reached an agreement that benefits all parties, especially our customers. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we worked through the negotiations.
