ESPN, Disney channels blacked out on YouTube TV in contract dispute

More than 10 million YouTube TV subscribers lost ESPN, ABC and other Disney channels after carriage talks collapsed Thursday night, triggering a blackout that cut off SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt, 9-1-1: Nashville and Grey’s Anatomy. Disney says YouTube TV refused to pay fair, market rates; YouTube counters Disney is demanding higher prices and leveraging a blackout to push viewers to Hulu + Live TV and Fubo. YouTube promised a $20 credit if the outage drags on. The standoff threatens weekend college football, Monday Night Football and local ABC newscasts.
