Disney and DirecTV announced on Saturday they had reached a deal to restore its "entire portfolio of networks," including ESPN and ABC, to the satellite provider following a two-week blackout.
The "agreement in principle" comes as the college and pro football seasons are ramping up.
"Through this first-of-its-kind collaboration, DIRECTV and Disney are giving customers the ability to tailor their video experience through more flexible options," a joint statement from both companies said.
