The US's second-largest cable operator Charter Communications and The Walt Disney Company expanded their distribution agreement to continue to deliver Disney’s lineup of sports, news and entertainment channels to Spectrum customers. The new agreement also contemplates Charter’s future distribution of Disney’s streaming services, including Hulu, ESPN+ and the soon-to-be-launched Disney+.
Spectrum TV will also offer customers access to ESPN’s upcoming ACC Network when it launches on 22 August. In addition, Disney and Charter also agreed to work together on piracy mitigation. The two companies will work together to implement business rules and techniques to address such issues as unauthorised access and password sharing.
Spectrum TV will also continue to provide its customers widespread access to ABC, Disney Channel, Disney Junior, Disney XD, Freeform, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, ESPN Deportes, ESPN Goal Line, ESPN Bases Loaded, SEC Network, Longhorn Network, and the newly acquired networks of FX, FXX, FXM, Fox Life, National Geographic, Nat Geo Wild, Nat Geo Mundo, and BabyTV.
