Satellite TV giant Dish Network and HBO’s parent company, WarnerMedia, have taken off their boxing gloves.
It’s been nearly three years since carriage talks between the two companies broke down, which led to Dish pulling HBO and Cinemax from its lineup of available TV channels. The popular networks also vanished from Dish’s SlingTV service.
The bitter dispute with Dish marked the first and only blackout in HBO’s 43-year history, and culminated with the long-running outage of the premium channels for more than 2.5 million Dish customers.
But on Thursday, Englewood, Colo.-based Dish and New York-based WarnerMedia announced that they had settled their differences. Dish said it would immediately begin distributing HBO, Cinemax and WarnerMedia’s streaming service, HBO Max.
