PARIS, Nov 4 (Reuters) - French TV groups TF1  TFFP.PA 
and Canal+  VIV.PA  struck a distribution deal on Friday that
ends a recent dispute between the two rival broadcasting groups
that had deprived millions of Canal+ subscribers of TF1's free
channels for months. 
    Broadcasting will start again on Nov. 7, the two groups
said. 
    Canal+ had ended its partnership with TF1, France's largest
television group controlled by Bouygues, because it said the
price TF1 was asking for continuing to deliver its programmes
was too high.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL8N30T50N
