Viacom CEO says he expects to renew deal with Dish next quarter
(Reuters) - Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman said on Monday that he expects to renew its contract with Dish Network Corp next quarter.
"I am very confident we are going to get to a mutually beneficial outcome and I expect we will get to that point next quarter," Dauman said speaking at the Deutsche Bank Media, Internet, & Telecom Conference Monday afternoon.
Dauman had said last month during Viacom's earnings call that the New York-based media company had entered into a short-term extension of its distribution agreement with Dish.
