A deal has been reached between Disney and Verizon to keep the network’s channels on Fios. The contract between the two was set to expire on Monday. In a joint statement today the two announced a broad-based distribution agreement. The deal comes just in time as Disney’s channel ESPN, which will air New Year’s Day bowl games, was in jeopardy. Other channels that would have gone black for Verizon Fios users include the Disney Channel and ABC stations in New York and Philadelphia. More details are expected to come out later.
