ESPN Sues Verizon to Block Its Custom TV A La Carte Lite Service
Posted in: Uncategorized
Walt Disney Co.’s ESPN sports network said Monday that it has sued Verizon Communications Inc. in New York state court, saying the company violated the terms of their contract by including its programming in a new Custom TV service.
ESPN said it’s seeking an injunction and damages. The filing wasn’t immediately available from the court.
Custom TV, which Verizon began selling earlier this month, gives viewers a base package of channels for $55 and a choice to add other categories for $10 apiece. That’s cheaper than the bigger bundles of cable channels that traditional services typically consider the minimum buy.
