Disney and Charter have struck a new carriage deal a week before the launch of ESPN’s ACC Network
, an important effort to expand its college sports portfolio at a sensitive time for the pay-TV ecosystem.
The long list of networks included in the agreement includes some that joined the fold when the 21st Century Fox acquisition closed in March. The roster includes ABC, Disney Channel, Freeform, ESPN, the SEC Network, FX and National Geographic. Sean Breen, SVP of Disney Media Distribution, said the deal “allows us to continue serving Spectrum TV customers with the full value of the Walt Disney Television and ESPN networks, including the newly acquired FX and Nat Geo networks.”
