📺 ABC and ESPN Vanish from DirecTV Lineup

DirecTV

Disney has removed ABC, ESPN, and several other networks from DirecTV after the two companies couldn't agree on a new distribution contract, impacting over 11 million satellite subscribers. The blackout, which affects major sports events, highlights the growing tension between content providers and distributors. Disney argues that its rates are fair, while DirecTV claims Disney's demands are excessive. This dispute reflects the industry's shift towards streaming services, leaving traditional pay TV providers struggling to offer competitive packages. The standoff will leave millions of viewers in the dark as the NFL season looms. Full Story

 

 

⚖️ Big Changes in Property Taxes—Here’s the Scoop

bipartisan bill

After a four-day special session last week, Colorado legislators approved a bipartisan bill to lower property taxes for homeowners and businesses, offering significant relief while preventing two potentially harmful ballot initiatives from appearing in the November election. The measure, which builds on a broader tax relief package, is expected to save the average homeowner about $80, with additional savings in the coming years. Though the deal was celebrated for its bipartisan nature, some lawmakers criticized the process and its potential benefits to wealthier citizens. Governor Jared Polis is expected to sign the bill into law. Full Story
