Part 10/11:
As negotiations continue behind closed doors, the outlook remains uncertain. The likelihood of Disney conceding on their demands for ESPN content remains slim, especially given the strategic importance of sports rights to their revenue model.

This firm opposition could either lead to a prolonged blackout or force Disney to adapt its approach, perhaps by reducing packaging or renegotiating terms.
