Direct Beef
Disney vs. DirecTV Carriage Rights and Pricing Dispute
Business · Cooling Off · Beef Score 75 · Started 2022
The dispute between The Walt Disney Company and DirecTV stems from carriage contract negotiations, channel blackouts, regulatory complaints, and allegations of anticompetitive packaging practices. In September 2024, Disney pulled networks including ESPN and ABC from DirecTV, impacting over 11 million subscribers after DirecTV requested 'skinnier' programming bundles and rejected Disney's minimum channel penetration rules. DirecTV subsequently filed a good-faith negotiation complaint with the FCC. The dispute intersected with a 2022 subscriber class action lawsuit alleging Disney used its content leverage to inflate streaming TV prices, leading to a proposed $50 million settlement in 2026 without admission of wrongdoing by Disney.
