The dispute began at the start of September when Disney's and DirecTV's old contract expired. At the core of the dispute was that Disney felt DirecTV wasn't offering it the money its content was worth for its channels including ESPN, Disney Channel, Disney Junior, Disney XD, FX, and National Geographic.
On September 14, Disney and DirecTV announced that they had agreed to a new deal to end their dispute and thus end the blackout, which means Disney's channels are now back on DirecTV's services.
Through this first-of-its-kind collaboration, DIRECTV and Disney are giving customers the ability to tailor their video experience through more flexible options.
Neither company revealed what the financial terms of the new deal were, but it is unlikely that Disney would have signed the deal had it felt the new financial terms weren't valuing its content assets appropriately.
