Disney, YouTube TV remain in talks to restore ABC and ESPN

(Reuters) -Disney said on Friday that it is continuing negotiations with Google's YouTube TV to bring back ABC and ESPN after the entertainment giant's networks went dark on the pay-TV service. On Monday, YouTube TV proposed restoring ABC and ESPN, in response to Disney's request to bring back ABC to the pay-TV service for Election Day coverage. "YouTube TV continues to insist on receiving preferential terms that are below market and has made few concessions," Disney Entertainment Co-Chairs Dana Walden and Alan Bergman and ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro told employees in a Friday memo. Disney's networks went dark on YouTube TV after negotiations failed to reach a licensing deal, the companies said in separate statements late last Thursday.
