YouTube users could be saying bye bye to Disney networks.

[hardcorestitch]

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.

 

[hardcorestitch]

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…

Looks like no last minute deal was reached.

Time of loss: 11:15pm ET.

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.

 

[hardcorestitch]

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.

 

[hardcorestitch]

You will now be able to request the $20 credit when you log in to YouTubeTV. Remember, it will NOT be automatically applied. You will be credited the $20 for NEXT MONTH’S service.

 

[luvmyfam444]

so have you changed your service? We have a FUBO trial for now.

We're waiting it out, but I'm getting annoyed. Missed the UK-U of L basketball game last night, which is a big rivalry game. Tried to sign up for the Sling Day Pass to watch the game, but couldn't get signed up on Sling's wonky website, which reminded me why we dropped Sling many years ago.

The 3 things we keep conventional TV for is live sports, Hallmark movies and HGTV (we love House Hunters International). If it goes through November we may just sign up for the ESPN app, Hallmark app and HBO Max so we can get those 3 things, just not as conveniently.

 

[proudmomof4]

We are also waiting it out. Hubby says it’s not a big deal for him and I don’t miss any of the channels.

Claimed my $20 yesterday.

 

[loves to dive]

We have a couple of things we record to watch later and Hubby watches SEC football and that's it. So far he has missed two Georgia games and is starting to get a little miffed at having to listen to them on the radio. We could get the ESPN app for the phone but he would only use it for football season.

I agree as others have said that happens from time to time with various providers. They run those TV ads apparently in an attempt to influence the negotiations by trying to create an uproar among viewers. Generally, it gets resolved and things are back to normal.

I just hope they don’t wait until college football’s regular season is over. I would imagine every bar in my area switched to other video providers since the ODU game is tomorrow. It’s on REGULAR ESPN and not just on +… and it’s so big all my classes there are cancelled!

This is like going to Disney and an attraction is down. There's plenty of other stuff to see and do. I took the $20.
