Viacom Channels Starting Return to Suddenlink

A variety of Viacom channels began returning to legacy Suddenlink lineups Tuesday in markets including areas of Texas and Oklahoma, Suddenlink parent Altice told us Wednesday. It said channels will continue to launch throughout the Suddenlink footprint over the coming months. Suddenlink dropped Viacom channels in 2014 (see 1501140012), but Viacom and Altice in May announced a content distribution agreement that would see Viacom's return (see 1705250042).
