Disney was ready to turn part of its feed back on for DirecTV customers tonight — but DirecTV wasn’t interested.
Disney-owned ABC News is hosting tonight’s presidential debate, and Disney offered to make the channel available to DirecTV subscribers for three hours at no charge, Disney spokespeople April Carretta and Bridget Osterhaus wrote in an email this afternoon. They said Disney wanted to provide the feed “at no cost because we want all Americans to be able to view tonight’s debate at this important moment in our history.”
