Disney has pulled ESPN, ABC, and other major channels from YouTube TV after the two sides missed a deal deadline, according to the USA Today Network.
The blackout affects popular networks like FX, Freeform, and the Disney Channel — and hits New York viewers hardest through lost ABC programming and ESPN sports, including Syracuse basketball games in December.
YouTube TV says Disney’s terms would’ve hiked customer costs. If the standoff drags on, subscribers could get a $20 credit.
