Peachtree TV & Braves Back On Dish

Washington, D.C. (May 17, 2012) -- Dish Network has returned Peachtree TV to its airwaves after reaching a new programming agreement with the channel's owner, Turner Broadcasting.

The channel, which airs Atlanta Braves games as well as SEC college football and basketball, was removed from Dish on January 27 when the old programming pact expired. But the channel returned Friday night after the companies ended their dispute.

The return of Peachtree is good news for Braves fans who have Dish with the team currently fighting with the Washington Nationals for first place in the National League East. Peachtree TV this year will air 45 Braves games.

Peachtree is owned by Turner Broadcasting. The station's call letters are WPCH-TV and it also broadcasts such syndicated fare as The Office, Big Bang Theory and Meet the Browns.
