In 2000, “Disney Has Taken ABC Away From You” messages took the place of the ABC owned stations on cable systems for about 3.5 million Time Warner cable subscribers.

The only way for cable customers to see ABC programs would be to rig their TVs to get ABC the old-fashioned way, through an antenna. A total of 3.5 million homes nationwide were affected, according to Michael Luftman, spokesman for Time Warner. Cable customers were without ABC programming in New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Toledo, Ohio, Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, and small parts of Time Warner systems in Philadelphia and Fresno, California.
