WALKING DEAD WALKS BACK TO DISH NETWORK

AMC and its Cablevision sibling networks will be returning to the DISH satellite network following the settlement of a breach-of-contract lawsuit by Cablevision against DISH over the now-defunct Voom HD service. Cablevision had sued DISH for more than $2.5 billion after DISH dropped the service. The settlement calls for DISH to pay Cablevision $700 million and comes after AMC’s The Walking Dead attracted a record 10.9 million viewers a week ago, the most to watch a basic-cable scripted drama ever.
