The carriage fee dispute means that millions of Spectrum customers will go without 'Jeopardy!' on ABC stations, US Open tennis coverage and college football on ESPN.
Walt Disney Co. pulled its channels, including ABC stations and ESPN, from Charter Spectrum‘s pay-TV service on Thursday in a festering distribution fee dispute.
“We’ve been in ongoing negotiations with Charter Communications for some time and have not yet agreed to a new market-based agreement,” Disney said in a statement.
The outage means Spectrum customers immediately lost access to popular programming, including “Jeopardy!” and KABC-TV Channel 7 news. The outage also comes during the first week of the U.S. Open tennis tournament, a highlight for many tennis fans.Charter Spectrum is the largest pay-TV provider in the Los Angeles region. The service has more than 5 million customers in California.
It’s unclear how long the outage might last, but the start of college and professional football could prompt the two sides to hammer out an agreement. The Charter Spectrum outage isn’t the only ongoing cable fee dispute. Since early July, DirecTV customers have been without Nexstar TV stations, including KTLA-TV Channel 5 in Los Angeles.Charter said it would hold a conference call with investors on Friday to discuss the Disney dispute.
