Both Disney+<\/a> and Hulu<\/a> lost millions and millions of subscribers during the month of September following the Jimmy Kimmel suspension<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s according to the New York Times<\/a> which cites the subscription research firm, Antenna<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Disney took \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live\u201d off of the ABC airwaves on September 17 following comments Kimmel made on the death of Charlie Kirk during his monologue.<\/p>\n

After that, the numbers show around three million Americans cancelled their Disney+ subscription with another 4.1 million Hulu cancellations in the U.S.<\/p>\n

The New York Times says the Disney+ cancellations were roughly triple the amount during a normal month and more than double for Hulu.<\/p>\n

At the same time, however, the New York Times says Disney+ received around 2.2 million new subscriptions, either paid or a free trial. That\u2019s a 10% increase from August. Hulu got 2.1 million new subscribers, a 5% increase.<\/p>\n

Roughly 128 million people subscribe to Disney+ around the world with about 183 million subscribing to Disney+ and Hulu.<\/p>\n

Disney brought back \u201cJimmy Kimmel Live<\/a>\u201d to ABC on Tuesday, September 23.<\/p>\n
