TEGNA stations like KHOU back on DirecTV & U-Verse

KHOU 11

TEGNA and AT&T have reached a deal.  It's a Christmas miracle.  Your favorite TEGNA station is back on DirecTV and AT&T U-Verse systems.

People on my Facebook page comments will have to find another topic to discuss now.

TEGNA owns television stations in the great state of Texas like KHOU Houston, WFAA Dallas, KENS San Antonio, KVUE Austin, KCEN Waco, KAGS College Station, KYTX Tyler, KIII Corpus Christi, KBMT-KJAC Beaumont, KXVA Abilene and KIDY San Angelo.

Here is the official release:

TYSONS, Va. & DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TEGNA Inc. (NYSE: TGNA) and AT&T (NYSE: T) have entered into a new multi-year retransmission consent agreement to provide TEGNA-owned local broadcast stations to customers of AT&T’s video platforms across the country. All TEGNA stations are returning today to any impacted AT&T homes.

AT&T and TEGNA regret any inconvenience to their customers and viewers and thank them for their patience.

The agreement includes retransmission consent for all 64 TEGNA-owned stations serving 51 Nielsen markets including Atlanta, Charlotte, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Phoenix, Seattle, St. Louis, Tampa and Washington, among many others. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. 

David Barron of the Houston Chronicle reported that during the TEGNA blackout, the Houston Texans game ratings took a sack.
