"We are proud to continue our track record of successfully partnering with programmers who put customers at the center."

Nextstar and Optimum have reached a carriage deal that will restore programming to Altice customers in the United States, the companies announced Saturday. The deal comes days after NewsNation and network and local programming provided by 63 of Nexstar Media Group’s television stations in 42 markets went dark.

Nexstar Media Group's board has raised the media company's quarterly dividend by 10%, to $1.86 from $1.69. The new payout, equal to $7.44 a year, represents an annual yield of about 4.73%, based on Tuesday's closing price of $157.23, up from 4.3%.

Nexstar stations and its cable news network NewsNation were dropped from the Optimum lineup on Jan. 10 after the two sides were unable to reach a new deal. The blackout involved 63 local TV stations in 42 markets owned by Nexstar and NewsNation on cable systems owned by Altice around the country.

Optimum agreed to a deal with Nexstar, which owns PIX 11 and The CW on WPIX, or Channel 11. But a deal with MSG Networks doesn't seem close.
