Nexstar Broadcasting Group and Cox Communications have reached a deal allowing the latter to resume airing of Nexstar’s network and local programming.

The announcement, which came at the end of last week, followed five months of failed contract negotiations that culminated in Nexstar pulling certain stations from Cox’s cable lineup last week.

According to previous reports, the dispute arose when Nexstar sought higher priced from Cox for its programming.

Prior to the impasse, Cox and Nexstar had successfully negotiated more than 1,200 retransmission agreements over the past 11 years without a disruption in service, the companies said.

The new agreement covers Nexstar’s broadcast platform, including 13 network affiliated and local stations in nine markets, the companies said. Further specifics of the deal were not released.

The spat caused concerns last week that football fans in Las Vegas and other impacted areas would miss the Super Bowl on Sunday.

The agreement, however, was reached in time to restore service before the Big Game.
