The suspension triggered strong responses across social media and beyond. Hashtags like #CancelDisneyPlus and #CancelHulu trended as users shared screenshots of their canceled subscriptions.

With cancellations surging, many subscribers reported technical issues. On Reddit’s r/Fauxmoi, one post read, “The page to cancel your Hulu/Disney+ subscription keeps crashing.”

Nexsar owns ABC affiliates and wants to buy Tegna, which owns more affiliate stations.

Disney isn't really part of that deal, but I'm guessing they also want to appease the FCC for similar reasons.

Colbert's show seems completely unrelated. My understanding is that the cancellation has been planned for some time and has more to do with it having run for 10 years than anything political he has said.
