Disney and Google Reach a New Deal for Disney Content on YouTube TV

YouTube TV subscribers were shocked to see all Disney-related content had been removed from the service over the weekend as Disney and YouTube’s parent company Google worked out a new deal allowing content from ESPN, ABC, FX, and more to be viewed on the streaming and distribution platform.

Luckily, a new deal has been reached according to a report from Deadline, and now the shows, channels, and movies that were removed should be returned to the service shortly. Disney shared in a statement regarding the dispute: “We are pleased to announce that after a brief disruption, we have reached a new distribution agreement with Google’s YouTube TV for continued carriage of our portfolio of networks. We appreciate Google’s collaboration to reach fair terms that are consistent with the market, and we’re thrilled that our robust lineup of live sports and news plus kids, family and general entertainment programming is in the process of being restored to YouTube TV subscribers across the country.”

As negotiations were underway, YouTube TV shared they understood subscribers’ frustrations but remained optimistic that a deal between the two entertainment companies was attainable, but would be decreasing the price of their subscription in the interim. Sharing to Twitter:

We know how frustrating it is to lose channels like ESPN and your local ABC station, and will continue conversations with Disney in hopes of restoring their content for you. For the full list of removed Disney-owned channels and live updates, check out https://t.co/R7MzaOMBNF
