OH NO! SQUIGGLE Channel Is Back! - News: Charter/Spectrum and Disney Strike New Carriage Deal for Cable TV

As per Deadline:
https://deadline.com/2025/06/disney-charter-strike-new-carriage-deal-hulu-cable-channels-spectrum-tv-1236443260/ I was actually relieved when Spectrum dropped SQUIGGLE! (Freeform) and most of the other 7 channels - they were superfluous.
Cable TV needs to shed channels, not add more. This is going in the wrong direction.
In addition, Spectrum cable subscribers will now get access to the Hulu with ads plan (in additions to the Disney+ with ads plan from 2023). None of which helps me, as I refuse to use ad plans (unless its something like AMC+ which I wouldn't even bother with unless it was included).
