I wish there was a way to keep this permanent! I don’t have anything against Disney (family loves the Marvel movies), but 25% of my TV costs going to one company seems excessive. Keep them off and I’ll subscribe to Disney+/ESPN whenever I need it. Seems that Disney will be the loser if that’s what happens.
For you to do that, Disney would need to offer an ABC/ESPN sports package that you could subscribe to (not counting Hulu + Live TV). They don’t. ESPN+ is not ESPN. It’s an add-on with additional, ad-free content.
Advertising drives ABC Sports and ESPN events. YouTube TV has about 4 million subscribers, about the same number as Hulu + Live TV. Those advertisers are paying Disney for *all* of those potential viewers, not just half of them. That’s why this will be resolved, and soon.
Yep, saw the message on my YouTube TV today. I don’t like that I can’t watch ABC News or even my local news on ABC but I’ll be damned if I going to switch providers over it. I don’t care about College Football and the Patriots don’t air on ABC.
I don’t care either. It will be back anyway.
Nah, the Disney channels won't be back especially when Hulu+ Live is competing directly with YouTubeTV.
Of course it will return, probably before New Years Eve.
ABC needs the eyeball count YTTV provides its network in general and the ABC O&O stations specifically. It does have a lot to lose, and is probably hurt more in the short term than Google is.

Actually, it's "back" now, less than 48 Hours after it "left". I have no idea who, if anyone, "folded", nor how long the new deal will last, but Youtube TV sent an Email saying they "were back".
