Disney and YouTube's stand-off is now entering day two, leaving millions of YouTube TV subscribers without access to ABC, ESPN, and other Disney-owned channels that broadcast college football's biggest games. After the two companies failed to reach a new carriage agreement by October 31, Disney pulled its networks from YouTube TV, where they'll remain dark until both sides strike a deal.
The blackout couldn't have come at a worse time, too, especially for Florida college football fans. This is the last weekend before the first College Football Playoff rankings are unveiled, and several key games will air on Disney-owned networks, including the Florida-Georgia rivalry on ABC, Miami's face-off against SMU on ESPN, UCF's in-conference showdown against Baylor on ESPNU, and Florida State's homecoming game against Wake Forest on ACC Network. And that's not including all the other sports exclusive to ESPN that YouTube TV subscribers are missing out on. Regular NBA and NHL games are no longer available, and neither is the NFL's weekly "Monday Night Football" game.
