Sinclair and Mediacom set an eight-day interim carriage agreement, which runs through Jan. 8, as they continued to negotiate a new retransmission consent deal, B&C reports.

The short deal is at Sinclair’s terms, which are higher than the current deal calls for, a Mediacom source told B&C. The deal means viewers won’t lose access to a Jan. 7 college football championship game.
