Disney reaches new deal with YouTube TV, ending blackout - ESPN
November 15, 2025 - NEW YORK -- Disney and YouTube TV reached a new deal to bring channels such as ABC and ESPN back to the Google-owned live-streaming platform Friday, ending a blackout for customers that lasted over two weeks. "As part of the new deal, Disney's full suite of networks and stations -- including ESPN and ABC -- have already begun to be restored to YouTube TV subscribers," The Walt Disney Co. said in a statement. YouTube TV also confirmed the return of Disney content on its platform, noting that subscribers should see channels back "over the course of the day."

YouTube TV lost access to Disney/ESPN, so they are offering a $20 bill credit. You have to click a link in an email to get it.
These greedy fuckheads could just apply it to everybody’s account, but no - they make it annoying and count on lots of people not doing it for one reason or another. I canceled YouTube TV as soon as this bullshit with Disney/ABC/ESPN started. Remember when cutting the cord was going to simplify things and save us money over cable? Laughable now.

YouTubeTV no longer streaming ESPN and Disney owned channels, Google offering $20 credit "if their content is unavailable for an extended period of time"
Let’s get this straight. ESPN are the most expensive channels on any platform. And now they want more because they overbid for their content? I fully support YouTube TV for trying to keep our rates low. More on reddit.com

September 10, 2025 - This is spun on Disneys favor but in reality it was a dig at Disney saying that no one cares about your other channels and if you want we’ll bring back the ones people actually watch. Nothing in that states 24% cancelations or that YouTube is bending a knee. Bad writing ... Where is my $20 credit! ... Make sure you claim your 10 dollar credit from YT TV over the next 6 months. You have to literally activate a discount in your manage subscription area. Also if you already had a Hulu/Disney/espn bundle it's likely only 10 bucks to increase it the espn unlimited version.
