Well, we all saw this coming. At midnight last night, YouTube TV sent an email to all its subscribers saying the company was unable to reach an agreement with Disney, and until such an agreement is reached, ESPN, ABC and the rest of the Disney owned channels won’t be available to watch. Good news though, if they’re not available for an extended period of time, we’ll all get a $20 credit on our accounts.
Whenever these carriage disputes happen, we’re all supposed to pick a side. ESPN had lead anchor Scott Van Pelt film a statement telling people to go to Keep My Networks, which is a website where you can easily contact YouTube TV and complain. The Google-owned YouTube TV, conversely, released a statement saying it won’t agree to terms that disadvantage customers while benefitting Disney’s TV products.
