Take a spin through the RBR.com news archives, and you’ll see plenty of stories regarding Cox Media Group‘s long-contentious retransmission consent negotiations with Dish.
It just took Cox Media Group, controlled by Apollo Global Management, nearly five months to ink a new deal with the direct broadcast satellite TV services provider in December 2020.

Finally, a fresh deal has been signed, with channel restoration now complete.
