DirecTV and Disney reach a deal after two weeks of customers not having access to Disney’s channels
DirecTV and Disney have reached a deal that brings Disney’s ESPN and other channels back to its customers.
Disney’s networks went dark on September 1 after the two sides could not agree to terms on fees and bundle structures.
The deal gives DirecTV the opportunity to offer multiple genre-specific options, such as sports, entertainment, kids and family options, inclusive of Disney’s traditional tv networks, as well as its streaming services, Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+.
In a joint statement, DirecTV and Disney called this a “first-of-its-kind collaboration.”
