Disney and YouTube Reach Agreement to Return TV Channels

Disney and YouTube announced a multi-year distribution agreement on Friday, ending a blackout that had removed ABC, ESPN, and other channels from YouTube TV since late October. The deal allows the restoration of Disney networks and enables sharing of Disney+ and Hulu Bundle content on YouTube TV. Customers can expect channels to return within 24 hours, with YouTube apologizing for the disruption. YouTube TV’s base plan costs $82.99 monthly, and the service has over 9 million subscribers.
