Thanks. Not a place I would have looked, but here's the story, complete with one of their wonderful headlines:

While it is too early in the process for regulators to react publicly, Washington insiders say attitudes to AT&T's latest move into cable are very different from those which prevailed when the telco giant unveiled its $52 billion acquisition of Tele-Communications Inc. last summer.

Seems like Disney is getting ready to connect with a company that can help them with their Tele-fusion project...and AOL can't do it for them. Read the Newsweek story now put 2 and 2 together....

ABC is severing more of its long-standing ties with America Online.

The Disney-owned television network later this week plans to pull sports-related content featured on AOL
after its contract with the online service expires at the end of April.

The network's decision to cut off its sports content relationship with America Online comes just months after
the network's news division ended its own partnership with AOL. The moves unwind ABC's once-tight links
with AOL and highlight Disney efforts to house more of its content under its joint venture service, Go
Network, it launched earlier this year with navigation hub Infoseek.

ABC Sports' efforts online will be increasingly interwoven with Infoseek's high-traffic ESPN.com sports site,
said Eric Handler, spokesman for ESPN Internet Ventures, which assumed management of the ABC network
sites last year after Disney purchased a 43 percent equity stake in Infoseek.

Under terms of its previous AOL deal, the online service had first dibs on interactive content related to a
broad range of ABC sports programming with the exception of its Monday Night Football franchise and
college football's Bowl
