Nexstar, Dish 42-State Carriage Deal Blackout Resolved

More than 100 Nexstar local broadcast stations in 42 states and Washington, D.C., are back on Dish Network after Dish announced a new multiyear carriage deal with the broadcaster Thursday, ending a massive blackout that started early this month (see 2012030049). Dish said Nexstar's WGN America will be available on Sling TV in early 2021 as part of an add-on package.
