AMC Networks Return to Dish Network

Dish dropped AMC's channels from its lineup on June 30, claiming that the network's programming, which includes "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men," didn't justify the increased fees the TV network was demanding. The satellite TV provider has agreed to pay $700 million in cash to AMC Networks, and in turn will receive licenses for wireless multichannel video distribution and data service in 45 markets, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Philadelphia. Under a separate multiyear agreement, Dish will resumed broadcasting the AMC channel last night on channel 131. Programming on Sundance Channel, WE tv, and IFC will resume on November 1.
