Revised headline to reflect the dispute resolution rather than a 'settlement' (as 'settlement' is not in the facts).
Removed the phrase 'carriage dispute settled' from the summary, as the facts only state the dispute occurred and was resolved via a new pact, not that it was settled.
Corrected the attribution of the statement to Alison Hoffman, president of Starz Networks, based on the official announcement.
Removed redundant repetitions of the fact that services went dark in late September (only one instance retained).
Removed unverified social media claim (none present in facts).
