Disney Networks Go Dark on YouTube TV
YouTube TV announced that Disney's networks, including ESPN and ABC, will be unavailable on its platform following unsuccessful negotiations for a new licensing agreement. The contract renewal date has passed, and YouTube TV is avoiding terms they believe would disadvantage their members while benefiting Disney.
Google's YouTube TV has confirmed that Disney's networks, such as ESPN and ABC, will no longer be available on its service platform. This development comes as both companies could not settle on a new licensing agreement.
YouTube TV disclosed in a post on X that their contract with Disney had reached its renewal date. The company declined to agree to terms perceived as unfavorable to its subscribers, which it argues would have primarily benefited Disney's TV offerings.
Attempts to obtain a comment from Disney outside of regular working hours were unsuccessful.
