The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The move brings back 176 Nexstar-owned television stations and its national cable news network, NewsNation, back to DirecTV customers.

DirecTV, in which AT&T (NYSE:T) has a 70% stake, removed Nexstar’s programming from its platforms on July 2 over a dispute on viewer fees.

On Sunday, the companies agreed to temporarily restore programming from Nexstar, the largest local TV station owner in the United States.
