Commissar SFLUFAN Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 No one is (publicly) giving a millimeter in this one (yet)! Charter and Disney aren't budging in their blackout fight as NFL season kicks off WWW.CNBC.COM Charter Communications and Disney have been embroiled in a dispute since last week, leaving millions of cable customers without networks like ESPN and FX. Quote On Thursday, Charter CEO Chris Winfrey said that “Disney will be who decides” what happens in the dispute. “Sitting here today, if I had anything material to highlight I would, so that should tell you something on how we’re doing,” Winfrey said at the Goldman Sachs’ Communacopia and Technology conference, regarding the state of the negotiations as the beginning of the NFL season nears. He added both companies feel a sense of urgency to resolve this quickly. Disney’s latest statement also indicated that the stalemate persists. “It’s unfortunate that Charter decided to abandon their consumers by denying them access to our great programming,” Disney said Thursday. “The question for Charter is clear: Do you care about your subscribers and what they’re telling you they want – or not? Disney stands ready to resolve this dispute and do what’s in the best interest of Charter’s customers.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 My main memory of having Charter cable was when I lived in Worcester and was having internet issues. The tech came up, was working through food poisoning, and absolutely obliterated my toilet. Good times. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was honestly worried he was going to dehydrate himself to a dangerous degree, he looked like a husk when he came out of the bathroom.
