Altice, Optimum's parent company, had removed all Nexstar programming in the New York area on Jan. 10 in a dispute over fees.

Nextstar and Optimum have reached a carriage deal that will restore programming to Altice customers in the United States, the companies announced Saturday. The deal comes days after NewsNation and network and local programming provided by 63 of Nexstar Media Group's television stations in 42 markets went dark.

Optimum agreed to a deal with Nexstar, which owns PIX 11 and The CW on WPIX, or Channel 11. But a deal with MSG Networks doesn't seem close.

Altice USA has sent a letter to the Federal Communications Commission complaining about Nexstar’s handling of retransmission consent negotiations, which recently led to a blackout of 63 Nexstar stations in 42 of the cable operator’s Optimum markets.

Nexstar’s WPIX in New York and NewsNation are among the TV properties that can no longer be seen on cable systems owned by Altice, in the latest carriage dispute to erupt in the industry. Nexstar said Friday that 63 of its local TV stations had gone dark in 42 markets around the U.

WPIX/11 went dark in Optimum cable homes late Friday, when its parent company Altice pulled the station's signal from New York-area cable systems. Dozens of other stations owned by Ch. 11 parent Nexstar were also dropped by Altice, affecting some 4.6 million subscribers in 21 states.

After multiple stations went dark last week, Nexstar has reached a carriage agreement with Altice USA. The partnership agreement was announced Saturday, and although the terms were not released, programming has already been restored to two million subscribers of Optimum TV,
