Disney (DIS) has filed a lawsuit against Dish Network (SATS) claiming its new packages for Sling TV, which let users subscribe to the service for as little as 24 hours, violate the terms of its programming distribution agreements, Variety’s Todd Spangler reports, citing the suit. Disney is seeking to have the service remove the company’s networks from the packages. “Sling TV’s new offerings, which they made available without our knowledge or consent, violate the terms of our existing license agreement,” a Disney rep said in a statement. “We have asked the court to require Dish to comply with our deal when it distributes our programming.”
