Dish, Sling Resolve Contract Dispute with Disney, ESPN

Disney television channels are back on Dish Network as of Monday morning after a two-day blackout left viewers without access to the Week 5 slate of college football games on various Disney-owned networks. 

Disney said in a statement to Axios on Monday the company reached “a handshake agreement with DISH/Sling TV,” allowing them “to restore our portfolio of networks on a temporary basis while both parties work to finalize a new deal.” The agreement comes just in time for Dish users to tune in to Monday Night Football on ABC and the ESPN family of networks. 

Dish also released a brief message, thanking customers for their “patience and support.”
