‘Plenty of Options’: Disney Steers DirecTV Customers to Dish, Hulu, YouTube TV and More as Blackout of Channels Including ESPN and ABC Hits Day 6


Disney is alerting DirecTV customers they have "plenty of options" to get ABC, ESPN and other channels from rival providers.

And the messaging, coming on day 6 of the Disney blackout on DirecTV, signals that the two sides are not close to reaching a new deal at this point. Disney is sharing the call to action across Facebook and Instagram social accounts for its networks and streaming services, including those for ABC, NatGeo, Disney+ and ESPN.
