Disney reportedly lost 1.7 million paid subscribers in the week after suspending Kimmel

An independent reporter claims that more than 1.7 million paying subscribers canceled their plans to DIsney streaming services.

Kabas' source also claimed that Disney sped the return of the late night show because it had planned to announce the price hike last Tuesday. In case you need a reminder of the entertainment news that dominated headlines for the past two weeks, Disney-owned ABC suspended the late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live on September 17 after President Donald Trump and members of his administration accused the host of making inappropriate comments regarding the assassination of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk. Although Disney then announced on September 22 that the program would be reinstated the following night, it seems a lot of viewers were not impressed with the company's actions.
