DirecTV customers have lost access to all Disney-owned channels due to a carriage dispute, affecting viewers, particularly sports fans, during critical broadcast times.
The blackout of Disney's channels highlights longstanding issues with carriage agreements in the pay-TV industry, which often escalate during high-viewership live sporting events.
Disney contends that DirecTV's offered compensation does not reflect the true value of its content, leading to a significant loss of viewing options for subscribers.
Popular channels including ESPN and ABC, crucial for college and NFL games, have vanished from DirecTV, creating a frustrating situation for sports-crazed fans.
