DirecTV and Tegna have announced that they have reached a new long term distribution agreement, ending a blackout that lasted six weeks.
The new multiyear distribution agreement covering Tegna’s 64 owned stations in 51 DMAS returned to DirecTV, DirecTV Stream and U-Verse on Saturday, Jan. 13, just in time for the NFL Playoffs.
Tegna stations were pulled from DirecTV Nov. 30 after the two sides failed to reach an agreement on a new retrans agreement.
“DirecTV and Tegna greatly appreciate the patience of their subscribers and viewers,” the two said in a joint statement.
Financial terms were not made public.
