Viacom-owned TV stations Comedy Central, MTV, MTV2, Nickelodeon, Noggin, GAS, VH1, VH1 Classic, MTV Espanol, BET, CBS HD and local CBS affiliates in sixteen markets have reappeared on the channel lineup of EchoStar's Dish Network.

First, EchoStar's Charles Ergen: "This agreement with Viacom allows DISH Network to remain the lowest-cost, all digital TV provider in the country. We understand that this has been a difficult few days for our customers, and we thank them for all the encouragement they have given us throughout. We also look forward to a long relationship with Viacom in which we can provide their quality channels to our viewers."

Mel Karmazin, president and COO at Viacom, also had a friendly tone: "It's great to have our networks back in front of all our viewers, and to bring a new service, Nicktoons, to DISH Network subscribers. We apologize to our viewers for the disruption in their service, and want to thank them for their patience and support. We look forward to continuing to serve our viewers through DISH Network well into the future."

The new multi-year agreement covers all the channels pulled during the dispute, and will also cover Spike TV, CMT and TV Land. The Nicktoons channel will be added to the America's Top 180 tier of programming on Dish Network in the spring. In addition, all litigation between the two companies has been settled.

5. I think I hit the wrong replace on spell check.

That spell check can be a life saver, but it can also cause problems.
My boss sent out an email to hundreds of people across the state. She meant to saw sorry for any inconvenience, hit the wrong replace on the spell check and said sorry for the incontinence. oops
