Disney-Owned Channels Removed from YouTube TV Amid Carriage Dispute

Summary

YouTube TV subscribers have lost access to Disney-owned channels, including ESPN and ABC, following unsuccessful contract negotiations between Google and Disney.

YouTube TV subscribers woke up on Friday to find that all Disney-owned channels, including ESPN and ABC, have been removed from the service. This development follows unsuccessful contract negotiations between Google and Disney over carriage fees.

The removal means subscribers will miss upcoming sports broadcasts, such as college football games on Saturday and Monday Night Football. This week, the Arizona Cardinals are set to play the Dallas Cowboys, and next week, the Philadelphia Eagles will face the Green Bay Packers.
