ESPN+ to join cable operator's lineup in the coming months as well
Disney+ is now included as part of the pay-TV bundle on Charter’s Spectrum TV Select tier.
Charter Communications and the Walt Disney Co. announced that the ad-supported version of Disney+ (called Disney+ Basic, priced normally at $7.99/month) is now available in all Spectrum TV Select packages nationwide at no additional cost.
Disney+ Basic launched on the Spectrum cable TV package under the companies’ new carriage agreement, reached in September 2023 after a 12-day blackout of Disney’s networks on Charter systems.
Spectrum TV Select customers can get more info and activate their Disney+ Basic subscription by creating an account for free at this link. Eligible Charter customers who already have Disney+ can go to the website or app where they signed up for Disney+ to manage their subscriptions and receive a credit for the service.

To access Disney+, Spectrum subscribers must use an internet-connected streaming device, such as the recently launched Xumo Stream Box or any other Disney+ supported device.
In addition to Disney+ Basic, Charter plans to begin including complimentary access to ESPN+ in its Spectrum TV Select Plus video package in the coming months.
Disney+ is the streaming home for movies and shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic, as well as exclusive original programs, documentaries, live-action and animated series, and short-form content. Programming coming to Disney+ includes additional episodes of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” as well as the premieres of Marvel Studios’ “Echo,” “Doctor Who,” “Star Wars: The Acolyte” and other films and series from Disney.
“With the launch of the Disney+ Basic offer, TV Select customers can now enjoy access to Disney’s popular streaming content as well as their high-quality linear TV channels, all included as part of one video package,” said Tom Montemagno, EVP of programming acquisition for Charter.
The addition of Disney+ alongside a lineup of the Mouse House’s TV channels “brings the best of both worlds from Disney’s unrivaled entertainment portfolio to Charter’s video customers,” said Justin Connolly, Disney’s president of platform distribution, The Walt Disney Company. “Our goal has always been to meet consumers where they are, and these collective offerings will maximize value for Spectrum TV Select customers while simultaneously broadening the audience of our advertiser supported streaming services.”
