The blackout of regional ABC channels for Time Warner Cable subscribers is over. Late Thursday night spokesmen for both companies announced a deal had been reached.

"We have reached a long-term agreement with Hearst Television and our customers can expect their signals to be restored to our cable systems shortly. We thank our customers for their patience and their willingness to stick with us through another unnecessary broadcaster blackout," said Andrew Russell, Time Warner manager of communications for New England.

The statement from Hearst said, "WMUR-TV thanks its viewers who watch the station on Time Warner Cable for their patience as this matter was resolved."
