Credit: Jeffrey Becker-Imagn Images Why has the Disney, nee ESPN, standoff with YouTube TV gone on so long, now around two weeks, with ominous comments from the Mouse’s CFO today suggesting the blackout could go longer (writing this almost surely means the sides will settle shortly!). This is already one of the longest blackouts stemming from a contract dispute between a pay TV distributor –YouTube TV – and a content company, Disney. There are a few reasons why YouTube TV subscribers have been shut out from watching Monday Night Football and SEC football–not to mention the local ABC affiliate and even National Geographic channel. Obviously money is the primary concern, but there are others too. First off, YouTube TV is a division of Alphabet, the corporate name for Google.  While YouTube TV with its 10 million subs may be a big deal in the pay TV business, it is not the major money center for Google, not by a longshot. This is not to say YouTube TV is playing hardball because of this, but the pressing need for a deal may be a little different than for those pay TV distributors whose primary business is just that. “There’s a real

The carriage fight between Google’s YouTube TV and Disney has moved into a new phase. For over a week, ABC and ESPN have remained off YouTube TV for nearly 10 million subscribers, with analysts estimating Disney’s losses at $4.3 million per day—around $30 million weekly—as negotiations drag on ahead of Thursday’s quarterly earnings call. A notable development emerged on Wednesday, however, with Awful Announcing reporting that YouTube TV and Disney are aligned on the price for ESPN, widely regarded as the primary sticking point, but that the real issue now is ABC’s price and carriage terms. In recent years, Disney has shifted more live sports, once exclusive to ESPN, onto ABC, most notably "Monday Night Football." Disney argues the expanded sports slate warrants higher distributor fees, but operators push back, saying they’re being billed twice for the same content since they already pay premium rates for ESPN. The report notes YouTube TV isn’t seeking immediate discounts, but instead wants contractual assurances of lower rates once it overtakes three rival distributors in subscribers, a move that could compel Disney to adjust pricing industry-wide.

YouTube TV and Disney could be nearing an agreement that restores ESPN to the platform’s subscribers — but they’re not over the finish line quite yet, and one key hurdle remains in breaking the streaming stalemate.  According to a Wednesday report from The Athletic, the media superpowers remain at odds regarding the cost for Disney’s “ancillary non-sports networks,” such as Freeform, FX and National Geographic.  Disney-owned networks, including ESPN and ABC, were pulled from YouTube TV amid a carriage dispute on Oct. 30, rendering “Monday Night Football” and marquee college football matchups unavailable to 10 million subscribers.  YouTube TV and Disney could be nearing an agreement that restores ESPN to the platform’s subscribers, but one hurdle remains. Getty Images YouTube TV offered a $20 credit to subscribers last week as customers missed a second weekend of college football and “MNF.”  “Google and Disney need to get a deal done and end this blackout,” FCC Chair Brendan Carr posted to his X account on Monday. “People should have the right to watch the programming they paid for — including football. Get it done!” According to the report, Disney’s quarterly earnings — scheduled for Thursday afternoon — could be driving the company

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
