The latest cable dispute has another happy ending.
Scripps Networks and AT&T agreed to a deal late Sunday, ending a blackout that left AT&T's 2.7 million U-verse customers without access to the Food Network, HGTV and other Scripps programming over the weekend.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“These situations are never easy, and everyone regrets that the viewers were caught in the middle,” Scripps Networks president John Lansing said in a statement. “After the initial impasse, both sides took quick action to work toward a constructive solution. We especially appreciate our loyal viewers and AT&T U-verse customers for their patience.”
"We’re very satisfied that this is a fair deal that benefits our U-verse customers," AT&T said in its own statement. "The terms and costs of the deal recognize our growing subscriber base and give us the tools and content rights to compete with all other providers. We are very grateful to our customers for their support."
The Scripps channels were pulled off the air on Friday morning.
Earlier this year, HGTV and Food Network were pulled off Cablevision following a similar disagreement.
Last week, Fox and Cablevision ended a particularly nasty fight over carriage fees, following nearly a two week blackout for Cablevision's 3 million New York-area subscribers.
