Former ABC News senior correspondent Jim Avila has died at the age of 69 after battling a "long illness," the network announced on Thursday. Avila, who worked as a correspondent on the ABC series "20/20," left ABC News in 2021 following a kidney transplant in 2020. Additional details on Avila's death were not disclosed by the network.

It's been nearly two weeks since ABC, ESPN and other Disney-owned channels have gone dark on YouTube TV, with customers losing access to related content on their DVRs from Disney brands as well.

After a 15-day standoff, a deal cleared the way for YouTube TV to resume carrying ESPN, ABC and other Disney-owned channels.

Roughly 10 million YouTube TV subscribers can once again watch ESPN and Disney's other TV networks after a two-week fight between the media juggernaut and the Google-owned live TV service.
