In time for Monday Night Football, good news for Dish and Sling TV subscribers. After a dispute caused the Disney networks to go dark on Dish and Sling TV at midnight on September 30, both companies have taken significant steps toward a new carriage agreement.
“We have reached a handshake agreement with DISH/Sling TV, which properly reflects fair market value and terms for The Walt Disney Company’s unparalleled content,” Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution said in a statement Sunday night. “As a result, we are pleased to restore our portfolio of networks on a temporary basis while both parties work to finalize a new deal.”
