Disney and YouTube TV have reached an agreement, ending a blackout that left Disney’s channels, including ESPN, ABC, FX, and National Geographic, unavailable for over two weeks.
The disruption began when the two companies could not agree on licensing fees, preventing viewers from accessing live sports, news, and entertainment programs.
Under the new deal, all affected channels are being restored to YouTube TV, and subscribers can now enjoy full programming without extra cost.
Both sides had clashed publicly during negotiations, with YouTube TV citing high fee demands from Disney, while Disney argued for fair compensation for its content.
The resolution highlights growing tensions in the streaming and live‑TV market over content pricing and distribution rights.
