Disney and Spectrum have a deal, just in time for Monday Night Football.
The cable TV giant Charter Communications, which operates the Spectrum cable service, has cut a new carriage deal with The Walt Disney Co., meaning that ESPN, the local ABC stations, FX and Disney Channel will once again be available to its pay TV subscribers, the companies said Monday morning.
“Our collective goal has always been to build an innovative model for the future,” said Disney CEO Bob Iger and Charter CEO Chris Winfrey in a joint statement. “This deal recognizes both the continued value of linear television and the growing popularity of streaming services while addressing the evolving needs of our consumers. We also want to thank our mutual customers for their patience this past week and are pleased that Spectrum viewers once again have access to Disney’s high-quality sports, news and entertainment programming, in time for Monday Night Football.”
