services for customers across the U.S., after the two companies failed to reach a carriage-renewal deal Friday.
Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution said Dish had rejected its “fair, market-based” offer for continuing to carry the networks. Dish claimed that, as part of the fee increase, Disney is demanding that ESPN and ESPN2 be included in Dish TV packages that currently exclude sports channels.
