Disney pulls channels from YouTube TV over fee dispute

YouTube TV subscribers face a major inconvenience as Disney channels, including ESPN, ABC, and National Geographic, vanish from their lineup due to a licensing deal dispute. Both Google and Disney are at odds over fair rates, with Disney accusing Google of using its dominance to push for lower rates and Google countering that Disney's proposals would lead to higher bills for customers. Around ten million subscribers, mostly in the US, are affected, with families missing out on favorite shows and live sports. Both companies have expressed a desire to resolve the issue, but as of now, subscribers are left in the dark, waiting to see who will budge first. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
