(Reuters) – Charter Communications said on Friday Walt Disney Co declined its proposal for a distribution agreement and pulled video channels from its cable service, in a move that will impact the cable operator’s earnings.

Charter said it was paying about $2.2 billion in annual programming costs to Disney, excluding the impact of

advertising revenue for both parties.

Disney did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for a comment.
