Disney and Charter Communications have reached a deal, ending a 10-day deadlock that left subscribers to the No. 2 cable operator in the US without ESPN and other channels. With 14.7 million members, Spectrum is second in the US only behind Comcast, so the outage affected a huge amount of people.
The deal restores ESPN to Spectrum users just hours before Monday Night Football, but eight Disney-owned channels are going dark on Spectrum as part of the agreement between the two companies.
Networks no longer carried by Spectrum going forward include Baby TV, Disney Junior, Disney XD, Freeform, FXM, FXX, Nat Geo Wild, and Nat Geo Mundo (via Deadline).
