Disney deal hints YouTube TV genre packages

After a two-week blackout, Disney’s channels returned to YouTube TV under a new deal that hints at the service’s next move: genre-specific packages. In a bullet point, Disney said select networks will be included in various packages, suggesting previously reported options like a Sports & Broadcast tier. The wording implies more than one package, and Disney’s participation as owner of ESPN could help make it real. YouTube TV remains popular among sports fans, including NFL Sunday Ticket viewers, and is the first to carry the new NBC Sports Network.
