Baltimore’s ABC affiliate, WMAR-2, has been restored for local Xfinity cable customers following a 35-day dispute between broadcasting company E.W. Scripps and Comcast, Xfinity’s parent company.

Viewers in the Baltimore region, along with millions of Xfinity subscribers nationwide, lost access to 40 local broadcasting stations after the contract between Comcast and E.W. Scripps expired on the evening of March 31.

For more than a month, viewers seeking to tune in to the channel were met with a message that read: “This channel is unavailable.”

Philadelphia-based Comcast previously said it had put forth “a number of reasonable offers” to E.W. Scripps that were rejected. The company also claimed Scripps’ demands “would significantly increase the price” customers pay for access, according to messages displayed on television screens.

But Scripps, based in Cincinnati, said it was “negotiating in good faith” and claimed the internet and cable company “refused to respond” to their proposal.

The terms of the new deal between the two companies are unknown, but in an email to customers on Tuesday, Xfinity said it was able to “continue offering their content at a fair price.” Both thanked customers for their patience in their respective statements.

With access restored, customers in Baltimore will receive a one-time “broadcast fee” credit of $7.91, the Tuesday email from Xfinity reads. It’s lower than the $9.62 for other customers like those in Detroit, where two stations were blacked out.

While WMAR was inaccessible to Xfinity customers, the station could still be viewed through an antenna or via streaming apps like Roku, YouTube TV and Amazon Fire TV.
