The battle between charter communications and Disney over carriage rights

Charter communications and Disney are locked in a battle over carriage rights, with charter wanting to pay less for Disney networks such as ESPN. This dispute is unique as it goes beyond traditional negotiations over fees. The traditional cable model is in decline, and consumers are increasingly turning to streaming services for their entertainment needs. The rise of streaming services has led to an arms race among companies, resulting in an abundance of quality content but also financial challenges for the content providers. The dispute between charter and Disney highlights the changing landscape of the entertainment industry and the challenges faced by both cable companies and content creators.
