Charter Communications Inc. will offer Walt Disney Co.’s flagship streaming service at no additional cost to cable-TV subscribers as part of a landmark deal the two companies announced Monday.

The nation’s second-largest cable provider will include Disney+ in its $60-a-month Spectrum TV Select offering, the companies said. Charter will pay Disney a wholesale price for the service, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
