DirecTV And CBS Agree On Carriage Deal

[Mr Tony]

It was never pulled but its nice to see CBS & Directv playing nice (my CBS is O&O)

Unlike its corporate cousin, Viacom, CBS seems to have had no problem agreeing on a new retransmission deal with DirecTV. The companies vaguely refer to it as “long term” and didn’t disclose any terms — including whether it includes extensive rights for DirecTV to stream CBS’ programs to subscribers. But it covers all of the CBS owned and operated stations, Showtime, CBS Sports Network and Smithsonian Channel.

Nice. Mine is owned by some third party that I can't remember right now.

There are only 16 CBS stations owned by the network themselves but they also own some CW stations

WSBK was independent following the demise of UPN, but is now a My Network affiliate.
