battling for the past week
over a renewal for carriage of Disney’s various cable networks on Charter’s major-market cable systems, have come to new terms, according to a person familiar with the matter. The deal puts Disney networks like ESPN, ABC and Freeform back on Charter’s cable service.
Charter and Disney, one of the nation’s biggest cable providers and one of the nation’s most popular content companies, came to an impasse earlier this month, with Disney pulling ESPN, ABC, and other big TV networks from Charter’s systems on the cusp of the start of both the NFL and college-football seasons. Charter’s systems include some that serve New York City and Los Angeles, two of the biggest media markets in the country.
Carriage disputes have become increasingly common in the media industry, as programmers and distributors seek to keep revenue from linear TV flowing as customers jump to digital venues for their news, sports and entertainment. But this one raised eyebrows. Charter said it could no longer agree to pay higher rates for the same set of Disney cable networks when the company was losing video subscribers in droves.
