YouTube TV ESPN talks stall before showdown | JQJO

Talks between YouTube TV and ESPN remain far apart, sources say, as the Philadelphia Eagles vs Green Bay Packers Monday Night Football game nears. Without a deal, 10 million YouTube TV subscribers face a second weekend without ESPN, missing college football Saturday and Monday Night Football, though Sunday NFL games on Fox, CBS, NBC and RedZone continue. Disputes include pricing and a Most Favored Nation clause, while YouTube TV’s base approaches Spectrum and Comcast. An executive move by Justin Connolly from Disney to YouTube, followed by his recusal, still hangs over negotiations. Fans remain sidelined.
