After over a month off of AT&T's DirecTV and U-Verse MVPDs, Dsipatch Broadcasting's WBNS-TV Columbus, Ohio, and WTHR-TV Indianapolis are back on.

A broadcast source said it was a three-year deal, but did not know the terms.

WBNS and WTHR let Web surfers know the news with identical banners atop their home pages declaring: "Attention DirecTV and AT&T U-verse Subscribers! 10TV is back on your system!
