ESPN was carrying a college football game while ESPN2 was showing the U.S. Open when the channels went dark for Charter Spectrum's 14.7 million subscribersESPN is among a number of Disney Entertainment channels that have gone dark on Charter Spectrum cable systems.
The channels went off the air Thursday night due to a carriage dispute between the nation's second-largest cable TV provider — which is the major carrier in New York and Los Angeles, among numerous other markets — and Disney. ESPN was carrying a college football game between Florida and No. 14 Utah while ESPN2 was showing the U.S. Open tennis tournament, including the second-round match between top-ranked Carlos Alcaraz and Lloyd Harris, when the channels went dark for Charter Spectrum's 14.7 million subscribers.The move angered sports fans, and the U.S. Tennis Association wasn't pleased with the timing.
“We’re very disappointed for our fans and viewers around the country that Spectrum and Charter could not resolve their dispute with Disney, resulting in a loss of ESPN coverage of Thursday night’s matches. We’re very hopeful that this dispute can be resolved as quickly as possible,” USTA spokesman Chris Widmaier said in a statement.
Both Charter Spectrum and the Walt Disney Co. said in statements that negotiations have been going on for a while.Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
