After stations went dark, Nexstar has reached a carriage agreement with Altice USA, restoring programming to two million Optimum TV subscribers.

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.

Altice USA has settled its distribution spat with Nexstar Media Group, restoring dozens of local TV channels and NewsNation to its platform. This article, Optimum restores Nexstar channels as carriage dispute ends,

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.

The impasse results in Altice USA dropping WPIX in New York, KTLA in Los Angeles and more than five dozen others. This article, Optimum customers lose access to Nexstar-owned channels, was first published at The Desk.

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.

Altice had removed all Nexstar programming from Optimum in the New York area on Jan. 10. in a carriage dispute.
