So I was gonna watch Florida and Utah football game last night and the screen goes dark so I thought it was a glitch then a few moments go by and there's a message on the screen saying that all Disney owned networks on Charter/Spectrum were off air.

Everybody in this country wants to nickel and dime people to death and it's a shame.

Bummer. Hope you were able to settle down with that new Superman comic you like so much.

Its funny that Disney understands withholding content for a better deal.

It's a shame that two greedy corporations fight over minor price increases that ultimately get forced onto the people paying for the services.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Ironic thing being Charter pays about $2.2 billion a year for the Disney suite of programming, according to Charter's website, but only 25% of Charter video subscribers "regularly engage" with Disney content.

So it seems not a lot of viewers are watching Disney channels.

To be fair that percentage doesn't sound too low without knowing any context. Like how many more channels pull a larger percentage? I know I have a very limited number of channels I watch on a regular basis... pretty much I just watch comedy central and history channel.

This article I was reading about this topic lists disney as the second most watched network apparently. (it's from 2014 though so maybe things have changed?)

USA Network is the #1? What do they even have? I'm looking through their listings on their website and it's mostly Chicago P.D. and Law & Order SVU?

The paying customer is never the concern in these situations. Hell, they never are.
