Disney and DirecTV Dispute
Disney and DirecTV are engaged in a contentious negotiation over channel rights:
- Disney offered to restore only local ABC stations for a recent debate.
- DirecTV countered with a proposal to restore aLL channels for one week during negotiations.
- Both offers were rejected, indicating the two parties are far from reaching an agreement.
This ongoing dispute leaves DirecTV customers without access to Disney-owned channels. Affected viewers are advised to explore alternative options, such as using an antenna for local ABC coverage or considering services like Sling TV for access to ESPN.
