A+E Networks has settled a lawsuit against production company Big Fish Entertainment and cable network Reelz over their series On Patrol: Live albeit in an unconventional way.
As part of the settlement, A+E Networks has closed a multi-year licensing deal with Amazon which owns Big Fish to feature a host of titles from the AE cable channel on Amazons Prime Video. The deal also includes an extension for currently available AE FAST channels on Prime Video as well as the launch of new ones.
A+E Networks and Amazon have agreed to significantly expand their commercial relationship in a multi-year agreement that will amplify the reach of A+E Networks brands and content on Amazons Prime Video service, the companies said in a joint statement. In connection with that agreement, the legal dispute between A+E and Big Fish Entertainment and Reelz concerning Live PD has been resolved.
More to come.
