NFL Network, Comcast Make Nice With Carriage Pact

Comcast Corp. and the National Football League have put their differences aside and reached a new, long-term carriage agreement.

They have also agreed to settle the related legal disputes and discontinue pending legal actions before the Federal Communications Commission and a New York state court.

The carriage agreement covers the network, VOD for Comcast’s Digital Classic cable customers and the ability to offer the NFL’s RedZone Channel when it is created.

Comcast will begin repositioning NFL Network from its Sports Entertainment Package to the Digital Classic level of service with a full launch by Aug.
