Walt Disney Co. TV and radio stations rejected ads for Verizon Communications Inc.’s Custom TV because of a dispute over whether the TV service violates contract agreements with major media
companies. Disney’s WABC-TV and ESPN Radio in New York have refused to run the ads, according to Jim Gerace, a spokesman for Verizon. The company received an e-mail from
WABC Wednesday saying it wouldn’t run the Custom TV ads.
