DirecTV has filed a complaint with the FCC against Disney, accusing them of negotiating in bad faith during a carriage dispute. This dispute has resulted in a blackout of Disney channels for DirecTV subscribers, affecting access to popular content like ESPN and ABC. The blackout has impacted millions of subscribers during significant events like college football and the U.S. Open, raising concerns about potential disruption to the upcoming presidential debate. While DirecTV accuses Disney of anticompetitive practices, Disney argues for a standard release of claims following negotiations.
