  • Walt Disney (DIS -0.9%) and Amazon.com (AMZN -0.4%) are fighting over ad revenues from Disney apps that appear on the latter’s Fire TV devices, The Wall Street Journal reports.
  • Disney is resisting a push from Amazon for the right to sell a substantial percentage of ad space on Disney’s apps, a dispute that could lead to pulling the apps (including those for networks like ABC, ESPN and the Disney Channel) from Fire TV.
  • That dispute also spills over into the fact that Fire TV has yet to set a deal to carry Disney Plus ahead of that service’s Nov. 12 launch, according to the report.
