Univision and AT&T agree to temp signal extension

March 10, 2016 by Veronica Villafañe

Univision-ATTUverseUnivision’s ongoing dispute with AT&T over retransmission fees will get a temporary reprieve on the air.

Both companies have agreed to extend access to Univision network until 1 am ET Saturday, while they continue to work on a new contract agreement.

Univision’s signal, blocked on A&T Uverse since last Friday, was brought back on the air yesterday starting at 8 pm, just in time for subscribers to watch the network’s primetime Democratic debate.

Other Univision properties, including UniMás and Galavisión, continue to be blocked on U-verse.

Univision seeks an increase in fees to match market rates paid to English-language broadcasters. AT&T Uverse is trying to lower the fees it pays across the board.

UPDATE 3/11/16: Univision and AT&T agreed today to extend the access of the Univision network and stations until 1 a.m. ET on Wednesday, March 16 2016, while they continue to work to reach agreement on a new contract. Univision’s other networks will continue to be unavailable.

UPDATE 3/15/16: Univision Communications Inc. and AT&T agreed today to another 24-hour extension of the network’s signal. Access of the Univision network and stations will continue to be available until 1 a.m. ET on Thursday, March 17.

UPDATE 3/16/16: Carriage extension continues until 1 a.m. March 17.

UPDATE 3/17/16: Another extension set until 1 a.m., Friday, March 18.

UPDATE 3/19/16: Extension until 5 p.m. ET on Monday, March 21, 2016.
