Disney Yanks ESPN and ABC Off YouTube TV – Why It Happened and What’s Next
Disney-owned channels, including ESPN, ABC, FX, and National Geographic, went dark on YouTube TV after contract talks collapsed before the Oct. 30 deadline. Over 20 channels vanished for more than 10 million subscribers at 11:59 p.m. ET. Both companies blamed each other for the blackout. YouTube TV promised a $20 monthly credit if the dispute drags on.
