DirecTV (my satellite provider) and Viacom have announced an agreement to end the stalemate that took Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and other Viacom stations off my TV…
DirecTV says in its news release that Viacom "has returned all affected networks;" Viacom said at 6 am ET that the channels "will return to DIRECTV's channel lineup immediately." Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Presumably, this is so. But here it is, five and a half hours after that statement and the channels aren't back on my set yet. How much time does it take to flip that switch?
