As Disney blackout of DirecTV stretches to nine days, ‘Monday Night Football’ fans get restless

LA Times  

The San Francisco 49ers will take on Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets Monday night at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. Millions of DirecTV customers missed ESPN’s kickoff of “Monday Night Football” — a highly anticipated game between the San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets — as the Walt Disney Co. channel blackout stretched into its ninth day on Monday. In September last year, a nearly 12-day blackout of Disney channels on Charter Communications’ Spectrum service ended as the first “Monday Night Football” game of the season got underway. New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was knocked out of last year’s “Monday Night Football” opener after tearing his left Achilles tendon in the New York Jets’ first game of 2023. Beyond “Monday Night Football” and college football, if the blackout extends into next weekend, DirecTV customers could miss Sunday’s telecast of the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards.
