Verizon went ahead with the launch of their Custom TV packages as planned on April 19th, and apparently made no changes to how ESPN and ESPN2 were offered. From a consumer point-of-view, it was unclear how the two channels were arranged (see screenshot below from Verizon Custom TV package options).
Today, a court filing reveals that ESPN is in fact suing Verizon for breach of contract.
In the suit, ESPN says Verizon is “unfairly depriving” it of “the benefits of its bargain.” The company added, “We simply ask that Verizon abide by the terms of our contracts.”
