(Adds details of deal)
Dec 6 (Reuters) - U.S. broadcasting companies CBS Corp and Dish Network Corp reached a multi-year deal on Saturday with CBS agreeing to continue to deliver its programs to Dish's 14 million subscribers.
The deal came hours after CBS pulled its programs CBS, CBS Sports and Showtime from top Dish markets in the latest of a string of disputes between media conglomerates and distributors over the price of carrying cable channels and terms.
A CBS statement did not disclose the financial terms of the deal but said it will result in the dismissal of pending litigation between the companies.
