DirectTV and News Corp. ended their weeks-long contract dispute with a new deal that not only assured the latter's broadcast and cable networks would stay on the satellite carrier's programming roster, but also extended the arrangement to include the Fox News Channel contract, not set to expire officially until early 2012.
Among the entities included in the deal, whose terms were not disclosed, were FX, National Georgraphic and 19 regional sports networks.
