AOL, Disney Get Closer

NEW YORK AOL is deepening its relationship with Disney as the Time Warner-owned portal has added videos from the conglomerate’s ESPN property.

The ESPN sections on AOL Video and Sports, which officially launch Tuesday, mark the first time the sports network has placed its video content on an outside portal. AOL in September also became the first major portal to showcase full-length prime-time episodes from Disney’s ABC on its video pages.

ESPN’s offerings include a shortened version of SportsCenter updated twice daily, segments from such original programs as Pardon the Interruption and Around the Horn and clips and breaking news stories.
