Nexstar was restored to millions of Optimum Cable customers sometime Saturday.
Optimum is an American company under American parent company, Altice USA and took all Nexstar channels off the air for over a week nationwide.
A huge public outcry and thousands of cancellations prompted the company to re-install the Nexstar channels on their local system in Hendersonville. The two channels affected were Optimum 7 and 62.
Statement on behalf of Optimum:
“At Optimum, we have a clear mission: provide the programming that our customers want at an affordable price and give them choice and flexibility when selecting their desired TV content. We are proud to continue our track record of successfully partnering with programmers who put customers at the center."
