As it approaches the one-year anniversary of the end of its dispute with Charter Spectrum, Disney finds itself facing another major carriage deal dispute – this time, with DirecTV. The result? As of today, DirectTV customers are facing a number of Disney -owned channels- including ABC and ESPN – being blacked out on their service. Reportedly, a major roadblock to a deal centers on DirecTV, looking to be able to deal with smaller and possible genre-based bundle deals.
Disney is in the business of creating alternate realities, but this is the real world where we believe you earn your way and must answer for your own actions. They want to continue to chase maximum profits and dominant control at the expense of consumers – making it harder for them to select the shows and sports they want at a reasonable price.
