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
A+E Networks’ programming on Internet-

The renewal applies to the entire suite of A+E
Networks’ channels, among the top brands in
the media landscape, including: A&E, Lifetime,
History, LMN, FYI, H2, History en Español,
Crime + Investigation and Military History.
“I am pleased to call A+E Networks an
innovative partner in developing this wide-
ranging, creative agreement that will help to
define the future of TV,” said Dish president
and CEO Joseph P. Clayton through a
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
Networks’ content through a future multi-
stream subscription service of linear and VOD
content. With this capability, the content will
be available to an untapped segment of
customers that is seeking a flexible, content-
driven and internet-accessible service.
“We have had a great partnership with Dish for
many years and we are delighted that this
renewal will carry our partnership well into the
future,” said A+E Networks president and CEO

valued customers will be able to enjoy A+E
Networks’ award-winning portfolio of brands
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.”
The renewal also expands the authenticated A

customers at home or on-the-go via internet-
connected devices – televisions, computers,
smartphones, tablets, gaming consoles and
other devices. Dish customers will be able to
