New York Governor Kathy Hochul directed the Department of Public Service to hold Charter (CHTR) “accountable and ensure the company delivers refunds for New York consumers who have experienced disrupted service” amid the ongoing cable dispute between Charter and Disney (DIS). Nearly 15M cable viewers nationwide and more than 1.5M in New York State lost access to ESPN and other Disney-owned channels on August 31 when Disney and Charter were unable to renew a distribution deal. Governor Hochul has directed the Department of Public Service “to ensure Charter is providing customers with appropriate refunds for any period that customers cannot access Disney-owned channels during the dispute.”
