The satellite carrier and Nexstar announced Monday that they had largely resolved their bitter carriage dispute, which had prevented millions of DirecTV subscribers from accessing the channels of Nexstar.

The deal to restore more than 170 Nexstar-owned stations across the country, along with the cable news network NewsNation, comes one day after the station’s owner agreed to temporarily restore the signals to DirecTV’s subscribers as the second week of the NFL season began, adding new pressure to reach an agreement.

Disney and Charter also agreed last week to resolve a dispute that resulted in ABC-owned stations and ESPN being pulled from the cable provider’s lineup as a result of the blackout that began in July.

Despite the fact that most of Nexstar’s stations will be covered under the new multi-year agreement, DirecTV said 27 stations owned by another company will not be covered.

As satellite and cable providers dig in their heels, retransmission fees have become increasingly problematic in recent years, and as subscribers balk at paying higher prices for television bundles, millions have cut the cord in favor of alluring new streaming services, which have caused disputes over retransmission fees to increase.

Bill Morrow, DirecTV’s CEO, referenced the trend in a note to customers on Monday.

“Unfortunately, over the past decade-plus access to your programming has become a battleground for networks and stations to try to drive up higher rates,” Morrow said. “As our customers, we recognize that while you may be able to access some programming over-the-air or on a streaming service during these periods, that is not the experience you expect.”
