Fox 8 Won't Disappear From DirecTV This Weekend WJW-TV Fox 8

A dispute between DirecTV and WJW "Fox 8" in Cleveland is apparently over.

The station had warned viewers Thursday that a contract dispute with the satellite company could result in the loss of Fox programming for DirecTV viewers in Northeast Ohio.

Friday, WJW announced that the station and DirecTV have reached an agreement.

The "Fox 8" signal will remain available on DirecTV and the other satellite and cable providers carrying the station.
