It's the power of preseason football.
CBS and AT&T announced in a joint statement on Thursday that the two media conglomerates have reached a multi-year deal for the Tiffany Network and subsidiaries CBS Sports Network and the Smithsonian Channel to run on DirecTV, DirecTV Now and AT&T U-verse.
The new deal brings those channels back effective immediately. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Last month, the agreement between the two expired which meant subscribers of these television services did not have access to CBS programming.
But now, things like the Detroit Lions preseason game against the Buffalo Bills on Aug.
