迪士尼警告:若合同谈判未果,ABC和ESPN可能在YouTube TV上被下架

摘要

迪士尼已提醒YouTube TV订阅用户,如果未能在10月30日前达成新的分销协议,ABC、ESPN及其他频道可能会被移除。

迪士尼已通知YouTube TV订阅用户,如果未能在10月30日前敲定新的分销协议,其旗下包括ABC和ESPN在内的频道可能会从平台上被移除。现有合同将于该日东部时间晚上11:59到期。

迪士尼发言人表示,如果近期无法达成公平的协议,YouTube TV用户将无法观看ESPN、ABC及其他重要节目,包括NFL、大学橄榄球、NBA和NHL赛季。

拥有约1000万订阅用户的YouTube TV因其规模寻求更优惠的条款。该服务发言人指出,迪士尼提出的经济条件成本高昂,将导致YouTube TV用户价格上涨并限制选择,同时有利于迪士尼自家的直播电视产品。若未达成协议,YouTube TV将不得不移除迪士尼内容,并在内容长时间不可用时向订阅用户提供20美元的信用补偿。

此次事态发展紧随上月YouTube TV与NBC环球达成临时延期协议以避免断播的类似情况。当时,若NBC环球节目长时间无法观看,YouTube TV向订阅用户提供了10美元的信用补偿。

持续的谈判凸显了媒体格局的变化挑战,流媒体服务和内容提供商不断重新协商条款,以平衡成本与内容可用性,保障消费者利益。
