Both Com Hem and TV4 say the broadcasts will resume following the oral agreement concluded on Friday evening, but have been different in their pledges.

Com Home's owner Tele2 has promised to release the channels over the weekend of December 21-22, while TV4 has been a bit more cautious and set the Christmas holidays as a distant time limit.

"We have said it will come up this weekend, so it will," Tele2's communications director Viktor Wallström told TT.

No formal agreement signed

About 1.6 million households are now waiting for the parties to realize the message. But no formal agreement has been signed, and therefore there is no time, according to Tele2.

- They sit and compile the agreement. It was an oral agreement yesterday, and after that they have sat and worked with the agreement in writing, says Wallström.

- First, the agreement must be compiled, then only the technical part also takes a little while.

TV4 Press Manager Charlie Forsberg does not want to comment on the negotiations at all during Saturday night.

- We will return when we have something more to say, says Forsberg.
