The settlement ends a legal battle over A&E's decision to cancel 'Live PD' in 2020 amid racial justice protests, with a new multi-year licensing agreement now in place.
Under the deal, Prime Video will become the exclusive streaming home for the 'Live PD' franchise, including the recently launched 'On Patrol: Live' series, opening up the show to a wider audience.
