Elisa and MTV reach deal to restore TV channels

MTV's free-to-air television channels have returned to Elisa's services after the broadcaster and the telecoms operator reached a new distribution agreement, ending a dispute that affected hundreds of thousands of households across Finland. The agreement took effect at 12pm on Friday, restoring the live broadcasts of MTV3, MTV Sub and MTV Ava to Elisa Viihde and Elisa's cable television network. The channels reappeared automatically on customers' services without requiring any action from subscribers.
