Disney+ lost nearly 3 million subscribers following Jimmy Kimmel suspension
Viewers responded in droves to ABC's suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live in September, and not positively.
The politically motivated preemption of the late-night program following host Jimmy Kimmel's brief remarks regarding the killing of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk drove a massive wave of Disney+ subscription cancellations, a new report from the research firm Antenna shows, per The New York Times.
Roughly three million Americans canceled their Disney+ subscriptions in September, which represents a near tripling of the previous three-month average of 1.2 million. Slicing the data another way shows a doubling of the subscription cancellation rate, jumping from 4 percent in July and August to 8 percent in September for Disney+, and 5 percent in July and August to 10 percent in September for Hulu.
The momentary suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live by ABC, a Disney-owned network, is likely one of the major factors behind the subscriber drop-off.
