As Disney and YouTube TV’s standoff entered its second week, millions of subscribers were denied access to live sports and primetime programming. Now, Wall Street analysts have begun tallying the cost. According to Morgan Stanley analyst Ben Swinburne, Disney is losing roughly $30 million per week while its linear channels — including ESPN and ABC — stay off YouTube TV, a figure that works out to about $4.3 million a day. The blackout began when the last carriage deal ran out in late October, and ever since, both sides have painted the fight as one over leverage and price. The outage affects not only ESPN and ABC but other Disney-owned linear networks as well — a substantial hit given YouTube TV’s reported subscriber base of more than 10 million users. YouTube TV says it won’t sign off on a deal that shortchanges its users or nudges them toward Disney’s apps, while Disney claims YouTube is simply trying to pay less than fair value for premium shows. While the two sides remain locked in negotiations, fans of both the NFL and college football are bearing the brunt, losing access to scheduled broadcasts and Monday Night Football, along with DVR features on impacted channels.

As the YouTube–Disney carriage battle approaches the 2-week mark, it is following the financial trajectory of many such standoffs: Both sides appear to be losing, to varying degrees. The question now is, how willing are the combatants to endure more pain if the impasse continues? ABC, ESPN and other Disney networks went dark October 30 on YouTube TV, which is now the No. 3 U.S. pay-TV provider with 10 million subscribers. Industry and subscriber hopes that a second week of Monday Night Football would hasten the end of the clash went by the boards. Thus far, two revenue-rich Saturday slates of college football and two Monday night contests have been wiped out, with a 21% hit to ratings on the November 3 game between the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals. Along with ratings, Disney also is not receiving any fees from YouTube in exchange for its programming. A report Tuesday from Morgan Stanley media analyst Ben Swinburne puts Disney under the spotlight as the media giant gets set to report quarterly earnings on Thursday morning. Swinburne pegs the losses to Disney from the carriage fight at about $60 million over a 14-day period, meaning about $4.3 million a day. While
