Disney Is in a Fight That Might Change TV Forever-- If you like live sports, pay attention
admin 2023/09/09 02:11 The country’s cable providers and pay-TV bundlers have found a champion to go to war against the Walt Disney Company.
That is Charter Communications, which this month stopped airing Disney’s TV channels—most notably ESPN, right at the start of football season—over a dispute with the House of Mouse. The fee Disney charges cable providers for ESPN’s linear channels is comfortably the biggest on TV, penciling out to around $10 a month per subscriber, which the providers then pass on to their customers. Charter has had enough, and now it’s playing a game of chicken that could change American TV forever.
