Dish Network Corp. reached an agreement to restore Turner Broadcasting channels including CNN and Cartoon Network to its satellite-TV service for several months while the two sides work toward a longer-term deal.
The extension with the Time Warner Inc. unit also reinstates Adult Swim, TruTV, TCM, Boomerang and CNN en Espanol to Dish’s service, the companies said in a statement today. It ensures Dish’s 14 million customers won’t lose TNT and TBS when a separate deal for those channels expires on Dec. 5.
