Google Spurns Disney Request to YouTube TV Restore ABC on Election Night

Day four of the YouTube TV blackout of Disney networks saw the companies trade barbs over fees and Election Night access. Disney asked Google to temporarily restore ABC for Tuesday coverage; Google declined, saying a one-day return would confuse viewers and urging a broader reinstatement of ABC and ESPN while talks continue. Google says Disney seeks an unprecedented rate hike; Disney says Google won’t pay fair value. Disney says it has sent a renewal proposal. A wide slate, including ABC, ESPN, FX and Disney Channel, remains unavailable.
