I got an email from then a few days ago about this.

It's a carriage dispute, ESPN is trying to squeeze them for more $ per subscriber. They did however say they would drop the price if they drop the channels. Gee thanks.

You really need a firestick running pirate apps Sleepy.

I have a car, money and access to a casino.

I will be OK without them

We have held good faith negotiations with Disney for several months. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, we were unable to reach an equitable agreement before our existing one expired.

As of December 17, 2021, end of day Eastern Time, all Disney-owned channels, including ESPN and your local ABC station, are unavailable on YouTube TV. Members will not be able to watch live or local content from Disney and will also lose access to any previous Library recordings from these channels, including 4K content that is available as part of the 4K Plus add-on.

We will be decreasing our monthly price by $15, from $64.99 to $49.99, for the Base Plan while this content remains off of our platform. No action is needed on your part. A credit of $15 per month will automatically be issued. Once content is unavailable, this credit will be applied to your next bill after December 17 and will only be visible to family managers in Settings > Billing after the charge has taken place. Please note that if you have a promotional price with YouTube TV, you can still expect a $15 credit. Members who are in a paused state will receive this credit one month after their first charge.

Should we come to an agreement with Disney, we will adjust the price accordingly and will notify members via email beforehand. For the full list of Disney-owned channels that are no longer available on YouTube TV and for additional information or updates, please visit this webpage.

We know this is frustrating news, and it is not the outcome we wanted. We will continue conversations with Disney to advocate on your behalf in hopes of restoring their content on YouTube TV.

Thank you for being a YouTube TV member and for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,
The YouTube TV team

Most of the time these disputes only last a week or two. How many subscribers does U Tube Tv have? With just about every bowl game on ESPN, I would think there is more pressure on Disney than U tube to settle.

These bowl games are nothing more than glorified exhibitions.

I wouldn't watch any of them if I didn't bet on them.

I know, but ESPN pays a fortune to get every bowl game, losing  several million viewers hits them in their ad revenue.

Honestly I think they could care less if the lose money.

They haven't slowed down on any of their woke garbage and that alone has cost them way more than a dispute with youtubeTV

Disney is probably hoping people will switch to Hulu Live since they own that, or YTTV settles and has to raise their price higher than Hulu Live.

Fuck both greedy ass companies, I'll just go with pirated streams like everyone else.
