Yes, and thats definitely the case here.

I remember when all Viacom channels got yanked/dropped from our cable several years ago. I didn't give a shit about MTV or VH1, but I did miss Comedy Central and the Nick channels.

No in this case I'm pretty sure it's just "We want more D+ subscriptions pay it or fuck off"Reading into it, it looked like it was time fir contract negotiations. Disney wanted a fee increase, Spectrum thought it was too high. Now we are seeing the hardball negotiations. It's all routine stuff that has happened since the invention of cable. The only difference is that it didn't get to the channel blacking out stage as often because everyone on both sides were making so much money back then, it was easier to meet in the middle. Disney isn't trying to lose actually profitable cable money in favor of unprofitable D+ subscriptions. It's quite the opposite, they are asking for higher fees to get more profitable cable money. I will say kudos to Disney's sales team on the contract timing. Having renegotiating time run right before the football season gives them insane leverage. --- 1 line break(s), 160 characters allowed ... Copied to Clipboard!
