STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

NPR's business news starts with a TV truce.

INSKEEP: Dish Network is settling with Cablevision and AMC Networks after a well-publicized and drawn-out fight in court and on the airwaves. Dish will resume distributing AMC and other channels as part of the settlement, and pay a hefty sum - roughly $700 million.

This also ends protests against Dish by fans desperate for their fix of AMC shows, like "Mad Men" and "The Walking Dead." Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
