Wall Street's Verdict: Disney Triumphs over Charter Spectrum

The Walt Disney Co. and Charter Communications have reached a new carriage agreement, ending a blackout for millions of pay TV customers. Analysts have weighed in on the deal, with some seeing it as a win for both companies. Disney gains new distribution of Disney+ with ads to a majority of Charter pay TV subscribers, potentially generating additional revenue of around $400-500 million annually. ESPN will also see a gain in its viewer base, and the upcoming ESPN streaming service will have a built-in starting point on subs from Charter. Charter, on the other hand, will have access to Disney's streaming services for its broadband customers and will not have to carry certain Disney networks anymore. The deal is seen as a step towards a fully streaming future, but it remains to be seen how it will impact future carriage deals and the broader entertainment industry.
