Fights between carriages create strange bedfellows.
DirecTV, which is at odds with Disney over a new deal for ESPN, ABC and other networks, has announced it will give its customers a $30 credit for two competing streaming TV services: Sling, from longtime satellite rival Dish Network, and Fubo.
Disney and DirecTV failed to reach an agreement before their previous agreement expired on September 1, which removed ESPN, ABC, Disney Channel, NatGeo, Freeform and the rest of Disney's networks from DirecTV's lineup.
