In a statement on its help page, YouTube TV (GOOGL) said, “In order to provide you with the best in live sports and entertainment, YouTube TV enters into partnerships with content providers like Disney (DIS). Each time we renew our contracts with these partners, we advocate for fair pricing and greater flexibility to offer our subscribers the best possible live TV experience. Our current agreement with Disney is approaching its renewal date, and we will not agree to terms that disadvantage our members while benefiting Disney’s own live TV products. If we’re unable to reach a fair deal by Thursday, October 30, their content, including channels like ABC, ESPN, and any library recordings from these networks, will be removed from YouTube TV. We’re committed to continuing to work with Disney to reach an agreement, but if their content becomes unavailable for an extended period of time, we’ll offer our subscribers a $20 credit.”
