How to cancel your Disney Plus subscription: a step-by-step guide

Say so-long to Disney Plus in no time with these simple steps

www.tomsguide.com

I was already thinking about canceling my Hulu/Disney subscription after having dumped AT&T a year or so it sounds like a good time to try YouTube tv.

A business decision huh? Like a business decision that Nexstar needs FCC approval for its TEGNA merger and Trump wasn’t going to give that approval until Nexstar kicked Jimmy off the air? That kind of business decision?

Yeah, it’s a business decision the same way it’s a business decision for the shop owner to acquiesce to paying the mobster for “protection” when he stops by the day after the shop owner’s shop got its windows smashed in and vandalized, and two days after the mobster previously stopped by and told the shop owner he should pay for protection because it can be rough neighborhood.

I wish I had Disney+ to cancel. Any other ways?

I'd say boycott the advertisers, but I assume late night advertisers are more of the "As seen on TV" quality product at this point in the broadcast structure.

A broader movement might crop up in the next few days with more info.

Nexstar made a business decision. Kimmel was spewing fake news and the company decided the show wasn’t a right fit for its stations. Plus, Kimmel was only drawing 1.7 M viewers (same as Colbert) so it’s not like the show was making the stations tons of money.

Pretender

*sigh* another merger decision before the FCC at the center of this?

Would be nice for entertainers, etc. associated with Disney and ABC to go on strike.

I suspect it won't be long before Kimmel's show is permanently cancelled.

It's harder with union contracts etc. Wildcat strikes really hurt with bargaining.

They could starve Disney of morning show appearances, but that is the problem, with conglomerates. Actors in Disney movies/ shows who have contracts that mandate promotion, can be ordered to do Good Morning America or whatever it is on ABC. I mean i suppose they could say the bare minimum like "this is the movie I was in. it opens on this date" and sit there for 7 minutes. That would be entertaining for me.

he's contracted through the end of 2026. I am sure Disney is preparing the tax write off to buy him out as we speak.

Gutfeld’s going to get some new viewers.

So just to be clear you have zero problem with the Trump admin threatening baseless FCC enforcement action against Kimmel/ABC to coerce ABC into taking him off the air?

 

[rodoheel]

lmao idiot bipartisan revenge politics. hope you blue sheep enjoyed all thiose useless witchhunts smmfh

will be shocked if someone doesnt eventually take trump out then it will really be on

Can you remind me about the time a Dem administration threatened enforcement action against a broadcaster for saying things the administration didn’t like?

 

[Icky Mettle]

I’m sure he no longer has any interest in maintaining a a business relationship with ABC.

I just cancelled my Hulu/Disney+/ESPN bundle. It's literally the least I can do. Hopefully others follow suit.

People like ram aren’t actually that stupid - they understand exactly what’s happening, they just like it. Most of the right is perfectly happy to have the government tread all over liberals and leftists, who after all aren’t “real” Americans anyway.

 

[Ramrouser]

Do you think it is a coincidence that Nexstar made a "business" decision after the head of the FCC threatened to take ABC off of the air unless they got rid of Kimmel?

It’s virtually impossible to lose an FCC license. It was just K working the refs.

 

[dukeman92]

I don’t even think they like it. They see what’s happening. They know what it means. They just can’t bring themselves to admit they’ve been had. They can’t face the shame, however brief it may be.

This is sanguine, imo, and I appreciate what that says about your humanity.

It was the government threatening to take action against a private company because it didn’t like what a private citizen said. Textbook first amendment violation. Jimmy is going to be even richer soon.

If one has no honor to begin with, it's impossible for one to be shamed.
