Why is there a conflict between DirecTV and Disney?

Millions of DirecTV customers have been denied access to all Walt Disney Co. networks since Saturday, as the dispute between the two companies continues.

ESPN and other channels were pulled from DirecTV just as the U.S. Open was underway and college football season began last weekend.

At the heart of the conflict is the negotiation of a new content distribution contract. With no agreement having been reached, ESPN, Disney Channel and other Disney-owned channels have become inaccessible to millions of homes.

Other channels removed from DirecTV include ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, ESPNU, ESPN News, ACC Network, SEC Network, Disney Channel, Disney Junior, Disney XD, FX, FX Movie Channel, FXX, Freeform, National Geographic, Nat Geo Wild, Nat Geo Mundo and BabyTV, according to Phil Swann, editor of The man who answers the TV website.

As compensation for the outage, DirecTV says its subscribers can get a $20 credit for the outage, but they will need to follow a few steps to get it. Subscribers should visit https://www.directv.com/tvpromise/ to get the credit.
