Disney says YouTube TV seeks preferential terms

Read, Watch or Listen

Disney executives told employees ESPN’s dispute with YouTube TV remains unresolved, leaving up to 10 million subscribers without ABC, college football, and Monday Night Football for a second straight weekend. In a memo, Dana Walden, Alan Bergman, and Jimmy Pitaro said their offer matches deals with 500-plus distributors, while accusing YouTube TV of demanding below market terms. Ratings have seen a modest hit. A fan survey, heavy with YouTube users, mostly blamed ESPN and Disney, and 60% considered switching providers. Another sports-packed slate—BYU vs Texas Tech, LSU vs Alabama, and Eagles at Packers—looms without a deal.
