Univision and the Satcaster Dish Network have reached a promotional agreement after a nine-month blackout that marked one of the longest dead ends between a major programmer and a distributor. In a standoff in June 2018, three univision networks fell from Dish`s satellite TV system and over-the-top television service, as the two companies failed to agree on the terms of a new transport contract. Univision channels – including UniVision, UniMas, Univision Deportes Network, Galavision, Tlnovelas and FOROtv – have now restored normal service to Dish and DishLatino customers.
