Washington, D.C. (August 30, 2010) -- Time Warner and Disney have reached an agreement to enable the cable operator to keep carrying ABC and ESPN, the New York Post reports.

The agreement comes less than two weeks before the NFL season (ESPN has the broadcast rights to Monday Night Football) and less than a month before the start of ABC's new fall season.

The two sides have been bickering in public over the new carriage agreement. If a new agreement was not reached by September 1, Time Warner subscribers could have lost the SD and HD signals to the Disney-owned channels.

The New York Post writes that the agreement must still be approved by the companies' legal departments, but "no fireworks" are expected.
