Here’s what we know about YouTube losing its Disney-owned TV channels and a list of the channels that are affected.
Disney content has gone dark on YouTube TV because of a spat between the companies. Here's a list of all the affected Disney channels.
Streaming viewers are caught in the middle of a contract battle that will feel very familiar to anyone who remembers linear TV.
And beyond those top sports and news offerings, other Disney-owned content that is now dark on the platform include channels specific to U.S. college athletic regions, like the Atlantic Coast Conference and the Southeastern Conference. NatGeo and FX are also impacted.
YouTube says it will refund subscribers $20 if the channels are off the network for too long. YouTube TV is already among the most expensive live digital TV services on offer in the US. And it’s about to pinch its subscribers a little more as it has failed to renew its deal with Disney.
Disney's fight with YouTube TV could hurt the Mouse House in a way it doesn't harm Google. But ESPN is a prize asset.
YouTube TV is reportedly offering some subscribers a $10 monthly credit for six months as compensation for the loss of Disney channels.
Disney top brass told the troops that the media company’s leaders are going to continue to fight for a “fair deal” with Google’s YouTube TV, after the internet service pulled ESPN, ABC and other Disney networks Thursday night.
