How to Watch Freeform if You’re a Spectrum Customer

Following almost two weeks of blacked out Disney channels, the Walt Disney Company and Charter’s Spectrum have finally reached a deal.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the companies announced Monday that ESPN, Disney Channel, local ABC channels and FX will once again be available to basic cable viewers. So for those sports fans who may have missed the U.S. Open finals, the beginning of the NFL season, or the return of college football, don’t fret any longer.

The two companies’ CEOs — Disney’s Bob Iger and Charter’s Chris Winfrey — even acknowledged in a joint press statement that this deal came “in time for Monday Night Football.”

“Our collective goal has always been to build an innovative model for the future,” they said. “This deal recognizes both the continued value of linear television and the growing popularity of streaming services while addressing the evolving needs of our consumers. We also want to thank our mutual customers for their patience this past week and are pleased that Spectrum viewers once again have access to Disney’s high-quality sports, news and entertainment programming…”

However, you may notice some of Disney’s channels left off of the above list — Freeform, Disney XD, Disney Junior, FXX and Nat Geo Wild will remain pulled from Spectrum customers’ plans.

Freeform, the channel that started out as ABC Family, is home to current favorites such as Grown-ish and Good Trouble — which are spin-offs of Freeform originals Black-ish and The Fosters respectively — as well as Cruel Summer and Praise Petey. The channel also gave us classics such as Baby Daddy, Young and Hungry and The Secret Life of the American Teenager.

So, for those Spectrum customers who have now officially lost Freeform, how can you watch it? Read on to learn more.
