A dispute between Disney and Charter Communications has left nearly 15 million Spectrum TV cable television subscribers without some of their favorite networks.
FILE - The Walt Disney Co. logo appears on a screen above the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Aug. 7, 2017, in New York. The company representing nearly 15 million cable subscribers and the Walt Disney Co. blamed each other Friday, Sept. 1, 2023 in a business dispute that cut off Disney-owned stations to customers on the eve of a big sports weekend for U.S. Open tennis and college football fans.
Both the cable company and Disney said the other side rejected short-term extensions that would have kept Spectrum subscribers' access to the networks. Chris Winfrey, CEO of Charter Communications, said he recognized the timing was not ideal for customers.
