Disney gives Floridians yet another reason to hate them

[Buckeye Homer]

Check this out. A few minutes before the 8:07 kickoff time between Florida and Utah, Disney/ESPN CUT their feed to Spectrum cable users. Disney could have cut the feed a day before and Florida Gator fans (and others) could have made other arrangements in order to be able to watch the game, but Disney chose to act with malice and cut the feed right before kickoff. That was DIRTY. I hate Disney.

America needs to deliver a message so resounding…..Disney would finally understand the feeling of taking one up the arse, instead of just getting to watch.

Waiting to the last song is wrong,wrong,wrong. But the way I read it is that Spectrum is just as much at fault as Disney.

Charter claims it has agreed to financial terms requested by Disney (which owns ESPN and ABC), but that Charter wants ad-supported version of Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu to be included in the package for Spectrum customers. Disney won’t do it.

Disney should have given notice rather than pulling out the rug at the very last instant. It was dirty, malicious, and intentional. I hate Disney. Incidentally, I also despise Spectrum.

You're certain they didn't give notice to Spectrum?

I don't know and to me it's beside the point.

No, it is the point if Spectrum was their customer. Spectrum was responsible for informing their customers. It's not the first time a cable provider has failed to reach an agreement with a broadcast/streaming service

Could Disney have let people know that the game wasn't going to be on?

Not if they're not Disney customers

Spectrum may cave for that where they wouldn't for CFB, if they got a lot of backlash
