Disney and YouTube TV are edging toward a deal that could restore ESPN, but a standoff over fees for Disney’s non-sports channels like Freeform, FX and National Geographic still blocks a resolution. ESPN and ABC went dark on Oct. 30 amid a carriage dispute, sidelining Monday Night Football and college games for 10 million subscribers; YouTube TV issued a $20 credit. With Disney’s earnings due Thursday and top bosses including Sundar Pichai and Bob Iger engaged, optimism persists, even as the bundle remains the flashpoint.
