Optimum and MSG Networks say they've ended the months-long contract dispute that pulled the Knicks, Rangers, Islanders and Devils off the cable company's lineup at the start of this year.
"MSG Networks and Optimum would like to thank everyone for their patience as we partnered to reach this new agreement to benefit our fans and Optimum subscribers," the companies said in a joint press release distributed by Optimum Saturday afternoon.
They didn't release any terms of their agreement.
During negotiations, Optimum, owned by Altice USA, had accused MSG of demanding high license fees it said forced viewers to to subsidize sports programming, even if they didn't watch it. The cable company said only a third of subscribers who had access to MSG Networks through "antiquated" bundling models watched any games over the last year.
But MSG accused Altice of trying to overcharge customers while giving them less content.
Earlier this month, attorneys general frow New York, New Jersey and Connecticut pushed for Optimum to automatically refund customers who paid for MSG Network cable channels, but couldn't watch them because of the dispute.
This is a developing story and may be updated.
