Functional Brands closes $8 million private placement and completes Nasdaq listing
Investing.com -- Disney is continuing negotiations with Google’s YouTube TV to restore ABC and ESPN channels after the networks went dark on the pay-TV service, the entertainment company said on Friday.
The channels disappeared from YouTube TV after the companies failed to reach a licensing agreement, according to separate statements released late last Thursday.
On Monday, YouTube TV proposed bringing back ABC and ESPN in response to Disney’s request to restore ABC coverage for Election Day.
In a memo sent to employees on Friday, Disney Entertainment Co-Chairs Dana Walden and Alan Bergman, along with ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro, stated that "YouTube TV continues to insist on receiving preferential terms that are below market and has made few concessions."
