DirecTV and Disney Can’t Put Differences Aside to Air the Debate
All hope that Disney and DirecTV would strike a deal in time for Tuesday’s debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris has vanished.
Instead, a contract dispute is now poised to leave an estimated 11 million U.S. households without access to ABC News as it moderates the first—and potentially only—showdown of the country’s presidential hopefuls.
A temporary compromise appeared to be in the works on Tuesday, but fell flat about three hours before the debate’s start time at 9 p.m. EST.
