Indianapolis NBC affiliate returns to Direct TV

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - DirecTV subscribers in central Indiana can once again watch NBC, after the cable carrier reached an agreement with Indianapolis-based affiliate WTHR.

The station announced the agreement Friday on its website. The deal also applies to AT&T U-verse subscribers.

The Indianapolis Star reports service had been interrupted since September, as negotiations with station's parent company, Dispatch Broadcast Group, dragged on.

This isn't the first time negotiations between the station and a cable provider interrupted service. Contract negotiations in 2014 between DirecTV and WTHR similarly led to a blackout.
