Turner Networks, Including CNN, Return To Dish Network

The companies just made the terse announcement that they have “mutually decided to restore service of CNN, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, truTV, TCM, HLN, CNN en Espanol and Boomerang, and extend the carriage of TBS and TNT” — but will have no “further comment.”

Dish and Turner have reached a deal that will bring back CNN and other channels to subscribers, the two companies said Friday.

"DISH Network and Turner Broadcasting announced today that they have mutually decided to restore service of CNN, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, truTV, TCM, HLN, CNN en Espanol and Boomerang, and extend the carriage of TBS and TNT. Dish and Turner will not have any further comment," said the companies in a joint statement.

We usually get a few bits of info as to what they paid.

That's a good point. Hopefully they discussed those channels as well. Maybe the new deal includes them.

Probably means that's settled too. I can't imagine the CNN etc. channels returning today and then TBS/TNT go off next week. That would be strange even for Dish.

Thank you Charlie!

According to what @dfergie posted it looks like they extended the deal with TBS and TNT. Great news.
