Spectrum TV Select Customers Now Have Access to Disney+
The inclusion follows a landmark deal between Charter Communications and the Walt Disney Company, which also plans to add ESPN+ to Spectrum packages in the coming months.
- Spectrum TV Select customers now have access to the ad-supported version of Disney+ at no additional cost, as part of a deal between Charter Communications and the Walt Disney Company.
- The deal, reached in September 2023, also resolved a carriage dispute that had resulted in a blackout of Disney channels for nearly 15 million Spectrum subscribers.
- Charter plans to include ESPN+ in its Spectrum TV Select Plus package in the coming months.
- Some of Disney’s cable channels, including Freeform, FXX, Disney Junior and Nat Geo Wild, will no longer be offered on Spectrum.
- Charter Communications reported a loss of 327,000 pay TV subscribers during the third quarter of 2023, partly due to the temporary loss of Disney programming.
