Frustrated over YouTube TV losing all of Disney’s channels? Blame ESPN’s cr

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• YouTube TV and Disney failed to reach a deal at the end of October that would keep Disney-owned channels on the service.
• Subscribers have been offered a $20 credit for the missing channels, and they remain unavailable.
• Now a report specifically identifies ESPN pricing as the hurdle that’s holding up negotiations.

YouTube TV and Disney are now solidly into week two of failing to work out a new coverage deal, with the consequence that the latter’s channel properties have gone dark on the former’s streaming service. The fallout’s been spreading to other streaming solutions, too, and although subscribers have been offered a $20 credit, what they really want are their channels back. As we wait to see if some compromise can be made, we’re getting a little new insight into what could be the core sticking point that’s in the way of an easy solution.
