The impasse between DirecTV and Disney over a new carriage agreement has escalated in its second week, with DirecTV accusing Disney of negotiating in bad faith.

Since September 1, Disney channels, including ESPN and ABC-owned stations in nine markets, have been blacked out on DirecTV, affecting millions of subscribers and causing them to miss out on major sports events like college football games and the U.S. Open tennis tournament finals.

DirecTV, the nation’s third-largest pay TV provider with 11.3 million subscribers, is at odds with Disney over demands for bundling changes and anticompetitive actions.

The dispute has resulted in the blackout of ABC-owned stations in major markets like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago, as well as popular channels like Freeform, FX, and National Geographic.

DirecTV has filed a complaint with the FCC, alleging that Disney’s demands violate good faith mandates and hinder the company from offering consumers more affordable programming options.

Both sides remain at an impasse, with DirecTV’s CEO emphasizing the need for a long-term solution that benefits their customers, while Disney defends its negotiation practices and urges a speedy resolution.

This dispute mirrors a similar situation between Disney and Charter Spectrum last year, which was resolved just hours before the start of the NFL season.

Stay tuned for updates on the DirecTV-Disney standoff and its impact on the availability of popular sports, news, and entertainment programming.
