Amid a fraught carriage dispute between the two companies, Disney has made an offer to run a debate special feed for DirecTV customers, but the company is still waiting for DirecTV to respond, according to a source familiar with the matter. DirecTV would need to accept the offer in order for customers to obtain access to the feed.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are scheduled for the first presidential debate Tuesday, airing on ABC and other major cable channels and to be moderated by ABC News Linsey Davis and David Muir. While it will be widely broadcast, Disney is also restoring access to ABC News for DirecTV consumers Tuesday during the debate. As we announced in May, the ABC News presidential debate will be widely available across broadcast, cable and streaming. 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 tonights 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, a Disney spokesperson said in a statement.

DirecTV consumers have been without access to a number of Disney channels including ABC and ESPN since Sept. 1. The satellite giant is pushing for skinny, genre-based packages, where customers can choose the kind of content they want to pay for, in addition to what direct-to-consumer content they may want included in the packages. Disney has said it is willing to be flexible on the packages, but not at a rate which undervalues its offerings.

The two sides have exchanged barbs in the press and made several moves in the past week, with each party offering consumers discounts to their services and DirecTV filing an FCC complaint alleging that Disney is negotiating in bad faith.
