Hearst Television stations have returned to DirecTV after a retransmission consent outage that lasted less than two days.
The outage began Friday, Jan. 3, affecting Hearst stations in 26 markets. They included ABC affiliates WISN-TV/12 (Milwaukee) and KETV/7 (Omaha) and CBS affiliate KCCI/8 (Des Moines).
“Hearst and AT&T regret any inconvenience to their customers and viewers and thank them for their patience,” said a Sunday statement announcing the deal.
Terms were not disclosed, as is routine.
