MUMBAI:TV viewers in the US will
be happy for Dish Network and A+E
Networks have decided to continue
with their content sharing deal.The
duo has agreed to terms for a
multi-year contract renewal. With this, Dish
customers will have access to A+E Networks’
high-quality content and award-winning
programming from its entire portfolio.
This innovative agreement includes OTT multi-
stream rights for live and Video-on-Demand
(VOD) content. It also expands Dish customers’
access to programming on the satellite service
through increased distribution of H2 and FYI
in the America’s Top 200 programming
package, as well as authenticated live and VOD

The renewal applies to the entire suite of A+E

“I am pleased to call A+E Networks an

statement. “Together we are enhancing the
customer experience with fresh, dynamic
programming that Dish customers will be able
to watch when and how they prefer,” he added.
The new OTT rights allow access to A+E

be available to an untapped segment of
customers that is seeking a flexible, content-

valued customers will be able to enjoy A+E

across their multiple platforms. We continue
to grow and make significant investments in
new brands, and as such, we’re particularly
pleased with the expanded distribution of FYI
and H2.”
