Disney and YouTubeTV announced a carrier deal late Friday that will restore ABC, ESPN and the media conglomerate\u2019s other content to the Google-owned streaming service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal came after a two-week standoff between the pair of media giants that left an estimated 10 million YouTubeTV subscribers without access to top college football and NFL games as well as popular primetime shows like \u201cDancing with the Stars\u201d and ABC News coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re happy to share that we\u2019ve reached a deal with Disney to bring their content back to YouTube TV,\u201d the streamer said as it announced news of the deal, saying subscribers should see channels including ABC, ESPN and FX returning to their service \u201cover the course of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the deal, ESPN\u2019s new direct-to-consumer service will be made available at no additional cost to YouTubeTV subscribers, the companies said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis new agreement reflects our continued commitment to delivering exceptional entertainment and evolving with how audiences choose to watch,\u2019\u2019 Disney leadership said in a joint statement. \u201cIt recognizes the tremendous value of Disney\u2019s programming and provides YouTube TV subscribers with more flexibility and choice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouTubeTV earlier this week offered a $20 rebate for customers for the service disruption, while top ESPN personalities used social media and their perches at the worldwide leader in sports to urge viewers to pressure YouTubeTV to make a deal with its parent company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
