Disney offers scissors to Charter's customers [1]

['Jason Weisberger']

Date: 2023-09-05

Rather than continue the game, Disney has encouraged customers to cut the cord as part of their ongoing cable carriage fees battle with Charter Cable. Disney has been offering a full suite of cable replacement services via streaming for years and has taken to social media to offer Charter subscribers a path to the TV they are missing.

Cable TV without ESPN or any other Disney content is probably not a compelling offer for long. As Cable dies, however, outlets like Fox News and CNN lose much of their revenue and viewers. I for one, have been streaming all my media for years and years.

Even Charter's CEO is saying this is not the normal fight over carriage fees.
