DirecTV, the El Segundo-based satellite TV provider, said Monday that it will again carry the Versus channel after resolving a dispute with the Comcast, the channel's owner.

Versus, which carries sports programming from NHL hockey to hunting programs, will return to DirecTV today.

Versus will return to the same DirecTV programming packages it was in at the end of August 2009. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Versus was pulled from DirecTV programming on Sept. 1 of last year because of a dispute over what the satellite TV company would pay Comcast for the channel and how many subscribers would have access to it.

"We are pleased that both sides were able to work out a satisfactory deal to bring this programming back to our customers," Derek Chang, DirecTV's executive vice president for content strategy and development, said in a statement.
