Premium pay-TV service Starz and AT&T hammered out a new distribution pact hours before a deadline, ensuring that millions of AT&T customers would be able to watch such popular Starz programming as the drama "Power."
Talks had dragged on for several months before stalling a week ago. With the deadline looming, the two companies returned to the negotiation table and forged an agreement late Friday shortly before their contract was due to expire.
"AT&T and Starz have reached an agreement to continue our longstanding relationship," an AT&T representative said Saturday afternoon.
The companies declined to provide financial terms of their new deal.
