The Weather Channel agreed to cut back on reality television in order to return to DirecTV after an almost three-month blackout.
The two sides, which battled over how much the largest U.S. satellite-TV company would pay to carry the channel, said yesterday in a statement that they reached a new agreement. While financial terms weren’t disclosed, the Weather Channel was set to return to DirecTV today. The companies apologized to viewers for the service disruption.
