"Ten days after Disney pulled its channels, including ABC and ESPN, from YouTube TV, there's been no sign to suggest when either company will budge - aside from Disney's ask to put ABC back on the service for Election Day. Disney claims it saw the proposal as a "small step" to working toward a fair deal, while YouTube countered by saying it wanted both ABC and ESPN back. Clearly, that didn't work."
"Since then, publicly, there's been silence between the two companies, and customers are left to their own devices to figure out how to watch their Monday Night Football, or one of the more popular seasons of Dancing With the Stars.But as you wait for the ice to thaw, all's not totally lost ( or fair?). We've put together some options for you to put that $20 in credits to good use. It is Packers versus Eagles tonight, after all."
YouTube TV and Disney remain in a carriage dispute that removed ABC and ESPN from YouTube TV, prompting a $20 credit to subscribers. Disney requested ABC be returned for Election Day, calling the proposal a "small step" toward a fair deal, while YouTube demanded both ABC and ESPN be restored. Public communications have since ceased, leaving customers to find alternatives to watch live events like Monday Night Football and Dancing With the Stars. Several competitors and services are offering short-term access or trials, including Sling TV, DirecTV, FuboTV, and direct Disney-owned platforms.
