Disney and Charter Reach Multi-Year Agreement

The Walt Disney Company and Charter Communications have announced a groundbreaking, multiyear distribution agreement that is designed to enhance the consumer experience and support the evolution of linear television. Under this agreement, the majority of Disney’s networks and stations will be promptly reinstated for Spectrum’s video customers.

In a joint statement issued by Robert A. Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, and Chris Winfrey, CEO of Charter Communications, they expressed their shared commitment to pioneering an innovative model for the future.

 “Our collective goal has always been to build an innovative model for the future. This deal recognizes both the continued value of linear television and the growing popularity of streaming services while addressing the evolving needs of our consumers. We also want to thank our mutual customers for their patience this past week and are pleased that Spectrum viewers once again have access to Disney’s high-quality sports, news and entertainment programming, in time for Monday Night Football.”

Charter will also use its significant distribution capabilities to offer Disney’s direct-to-consumer services to all its customers – in particular its large broadband-only customer base – for purchase at retail rates. These include Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+, as well as The Disney Bundle.

Effective immediately, Spectrum TV will provide its customers widespread access to a more curated lineup of 19 networks from The Walt Disney Company. Spectrum will continue to carry the ABC Owned Television Stations, Disney Channel, FX and the Nat Geo Channel, in addition to the full suite of ESPN networks. Networks that will no longer be included in Spectrum TV video packages are Baby TV, Disney Junior, Disney XD, Freeform, FXM, FXX, Nat Geo Wild and Nat Geo Mundo.

To preserve all these valuable business models, the parties have also renewed their commitment to lead the industry in mitigating the effects of unauthorized password sharing.
