Mediacom, Viacom Renew Carriage Agreement

Mediacom subscribers will continue to be able to watch Viacom's BET, CMT and MTV because they renewed their comprehensive carriage agreement, they said in a news release Wednesday. Along with Viacom’s cable networks and its network/VOD hybrid EPIX, the multiyear deal opens the door to Mediacom customers having more access to Viacom content on mobile devices outside the home, said Mediacom Vice President-Legal and Public Affairs Tom Larsen in an interview.
