No POTUS Debate Blackout: Tonight’s Harris-Trump Face-Off Will Be On DirecTV As Disney Restores ABC News

The first debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will be available for DirecTV customers tonight despite the carriage battle between the company and Disney.

“As we announced in May, the ABC News presidential debate will be widely available across broadcast, cable and streaming,” a Mouse House spokesperson told Deadline this morning, just hours before the candidates meet up in Philadelphia. “

Although we have yet to reach an agreement, we are providing a three-hour feed of ABC News coverage to all impacted DirecTV customers at no cost because we want all Americans to be able to view tonight’s debate at this important moment in our history. We remain at the table negotiating with DirecTV and the restoration of our programming to their subscribers is completely within their control.”
