College football fans with DirectTV got an unwanted surprise on Sunday when Disney-owned channels, including ESPN, went dark just before the start of LSU’s game against USC.
The move comes after a distribution deal that was being negotiated by the two sides fell apart and ended up with DirectTV customers being left in the lurch ahead of one of the premier games on the Week 1 college football schedule.
Neither side is likely to win sympathy from consumers who were tuning into ESPN for the game between LSU and USC or the U.S. Open, many of which took to social media to air out their frustrations.LSU Tigers tight end Mason Taylor carries the ball against Southern California Trojans linebacker Desman Stephens II in the first half at Allegiant Stadium.Disney found itself in another carriage dispute last year, but with Charter Communications that lasted 12 days before the dispute ended on Sept.
