It’s multi-faceted. Certainly Spectrum sees the future and is trying to craft a soft landing. But Disney is trying to strong arm them imo.
It's available on my ESPN app. I have my ESPN through YouTube TV. I log into ESPN app with those credentials, and it shows it as available at 4.

ESPN app on Amazon Prime/Fire TV as well
We'll know a lot by Monday night. NFL MNF Bills v Jets. Game is on ESPN & ABC. Spectrum customers in NYC do not have access to either ESPN nor ABC because the ABC station in NYC is owned by Disney. Are the parties, including the NFL, not willing to let viewers in NYC see that game? If the answer is NO this dispute may never get resolved & Spectrum's loss of ESPN & other Disney owned channels may be permanent. P.S. I don't believe ABC stations upstate are owned by Disney & thus are available on Spectrum.I have Spectrum. Getting sick of paying for access to stuff and not getting it.
Spectrum might be telling customers resolution is expected shortly but their CEO makes it sound like this dispute might never get resolved. It really appears to be a seminal showdown for the future of TV in the US and I expect it will last a long time. The stakes are too high to cave quickly for either side.

I thankfully can get Verizon Fios in my neighborhood. Looks like I am going to be switching shortly.

Yay! Politics100% and couldn't agree more. The American way, driven by CEO and corporate greed, etc. Additionally, stock repurchasing/buy back tactics, etc. should be illegal IMO. All of this is, in large, why the top 10% own/have approximately 70% of all/total wealth in this country.

Agree, it's a joke paying these guys the amounts they are getting to play sports. Yeah, yeah, they are getting "market price" yada, yada yada! Well, we are the fools that contribute to the "market price" by continuing to support, go to games, watch on TV, etc.
Furthermore, these top conferences and its teams getting the exorbitant payout/team. What did anyone think was going to happen relative to these sports carriage fees, etc. and continuously hitting the consumer with increase fees and what have you?
It sure looks like Spectrum is likely to go out of the cable TV business & only have broadband internet. Or at most have a small bundle of channels at a much lower price, without any Disney/ESPN channels. (Maybe eventually also without any Paramount, Discovery (CNN) or NBC Universal channels.)
Agree. They advertise almost exclusively internet and cell phone service now. Can't remember the last time I saw a tv ad.
on the flip side it doesnt work with Directv
They’ll just pull a frontier and offer broadband with a slightly discount subscription to a YouTube TV or Sling
