As of today 10/1 the contract with Disney and Sling is up and not renewed. Disney rejected an offer. So basically all sports channels on Orange service are gone. So I tried to cancel Orange and Sports Extras but UI won't let me. The chat wait is long. Have to find another way to get LHN today. With ESPN app on Roku it will ask for Service Provider - can't remember if Sling is in the list. Options? Anyone use Vidgo? The Walt Disney Company OUR CONTRACT WITH THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY HAS EXPIRED Our goal and priority was to reach an agreement with Disney that ensures you get the best possible value from Sling. We were on track for a new deal until Disney walked away from negotiations. Sling will always fight to get you the lowest and fairest price for TV. What’s Happening and Why? We were not able to reach a mutual renewal agreement with Disney. Without a contract in place, we are legally required to remove their channels from our service. We offered Disney a contract extension to keep working towards an agreement and avoid any interruption to your service. They refused this offer. Disney is expecting us and our customers to pay nearly a billion dollars more for the same channels you are enjoying today. Disney hopes that by doing this, you will get upset and ultimately contact Sling to put pressure on us to accept their higher rates. Our commitment is to stand up for our customers and we feel strongly about fighting for a fair rate. What channels are impacted?
