MSM Media Distribution, Multi Screen Media’s (MSM) distribution arm, and multi-system operator (MSO) Hathway Cable & Datacom have ended their dispute. They have settled for a one-year fixed-fee deal for digital addressable system (DAS) and analogue areas. The development was confirmed to TelevisionPost.com by officials from both the companies who had met today to give final touches to the deal. With the deal thus sealed, Hathway will put MSM channels back in its packages immediately. It had switched off MSM channels in DAS Phase II areas while putting them on a la carte in Phase I areas until the end of the contract. The deal between MSM Media Distribution and Hathway for DAS Phase II had expired on 31 March 2015, while the contract for Phase I would have ended on 31 October 2015. “We had a meeting today where we agreed to renew the deal for a period of one year for DAS as well as analogue areas. The agreement has not been inked as documentation takes time,” a Hathway Cable & Datacom spokesperson told TelevisionPost.com. “We will put back MSM channels in packages either tonight or from tomorrow,” he added.
