📰 Disney Yanks Channels from YouTube TV After Media Giants Fail to Resolve Carriage Dispute
In a major blow to streaming viewers, Disney has pulled all its channels from YouTube TV after both companies failed to reach an agreement over a new carriage deal. The dispute has led to the blackout of major Disney-owned networks, including ABC, ESPN, FX, Disney Channel, and National Geographic, impacting millions of subscribers nationwide.
The disagreement reportedly centers on carriage fees and distribution terms, with both sides blaming each other for the breakdown. YouTube TV stated that Disney demanded higher rates that would increase subscription costs for consumers, while Disney insisted that its terms were “fair and reflective of the market value of its content.”
This latest fallout underscores the growing tension between content providers and streaming distributors as both navigate a rapidly changing media landscape. With the loss of Disney’s popular sports, news, and entertainment programming, YouTube TV faces mounting pressure to bring the channels back — or risk losing viewers to competitors like Hulu + Live TV, FuboTV, or Sling.
Neither Disney nor YouTube TV has provided a timeline for when—or if—the channels will return. For now, subscribers are left in the dark, literally and figuratively.
