AMC’s $700 Million Voom Settlement Returns ‘Mad Men’ to Dish

AMC Networks Inc. and pay-TV provider Dish Network Corp. reached a $700 million settlement of their lawsuit over AMC’s claim that Dish wrongfully terminated their contract for high-definition television programming.

The settlement included a return of AMC’s networks and award-winning shows like “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad” to Dish’s viewers starting yesterday, according to AMC’s statement. Dish dropped AMC’s channels in July, saying that they didn’t deliver the ratings to justify their price.
