DirecTV has rejected Walt Disney Co’s (NYSE: DIS) offer to restore the ABC network to subscribers to watch Tuesday’s U.S. presidential debate, which ABC News is hosting.
A spokesman for DirecTV told Reuters restoring the ABC network for three hours would be confusing to subscribers, who can watch the debate via other networks.
DirecTV subscribers lost access to Disney’s networks on September 1, after the two sides failed to reach a new distribution deal.
