Turner Broadcasting Networks Restored on DISH

ENGLEWOOD/ATLANTA: Turner Broadcasting's CNN, Cartoon Network and truTV, among other channels, are back on DTH platform DISH Network after being pulled from the service last month.

In October, a number of Turner channels were removed from the DISH programming lineup following a contract dispute between the two companies.

In a brief statement today, the companies said "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."

Meanwhile, DISH and CBS yesterday agreed to extend the deadline for their contract renewal to avert a blackout of the broadcast network for DISH customers.
