Cablevision and Scripps come to deal over licensing fees

Earlier this month we reported Scripps Networks Interactive had pulled its popular Food Network and HGTV channels from Cablevision, after the two companies could not agree to carriage fees.

Last night the cable company reported that all customers would be getting the channels back, after the companies agreed to a non-disclosed new agreement.



Cablevision blacked out the stations for its 3.1 million New York, New Jersey and Connecticut subscribers after the company asked for a 200 percent fee increase.

  That is wrong. Scripps pulled the plug, not Cablevision.
