YouTube users could be saying bye bye to Disney networks.

Disney owned networks, including ABC, ESPN, and most importantly Disney Channel could be GONE from YouTubeTV by October 30. Talk about a real life nightmare... no Disney Channel on October 31 for YouTubeTV means NO new Vampirina...

These 'negotiations' happen all the time, cable/sat or other providers are not immune. Most of the time they get settled in a timely manner before the channels are taken off. If not, then they are usually back in a couple days. Stinks, but it's more a matter of who blinks first. I don't watch Disney Channel and have ESPN+ that I pay for separate so I won't miss MNF.

Welp… today’s the last day. Prepare to be without college football, MNF (unless you have an antenna), or any Disney owned network! You won’t get to see the Kiff and Phineas & Ferb episodes this weekend unless YouTube and Disney hug and make up. Talk about a real life Old Hag…

aww man, no ABC Evening news for us. That's our tradition to watch that together, and we really only watch the local ABC affiliate news, so that is VERY missed. I don't know these other people on the other channels!!!
Will see what all we'll be able to watch tomorrow for college football.....

You’ll only be able to watch any college football that’s on NBC, CW, CBS, FOX and any other network, but not ESPN or ABC.

Do you have a way to receive over-the-air channels? If you have a clear shot to the local ABC affiliate's transmitter, even an inexpensive indoor antenna will work.

The only thing that bothers us (and by us I mean Hubby) is the lack of ESPN this weekend. He will have to listen to the Ga/Fla game on the radio instead of watching it. We live in Athens, home of UGA so SEC football is a thing in our house. No big deal for me since I usually go to another floor of the house any way when football is on.

If Mickey Mouse doesn’t hurry up with his YouTube shenanigans… YouTube’s gonna give everyone $20 credits… I hope Mickey doesn’t wait until college football is nearly over before they restore his networks.
