Following a recent dispute, Disney pulled all of their content, including ABC, FX, ESPN, Freeform, and Disney Channel, from the streaming service YouTube TV.
While Disney’s content remained available on services like Hulu, millions of YouTube TV users lost access to Disney’s content on December 18th. Today, we’ve got an update about the ongoing negotiations between Alphabet (the company that owns Google & YouTube TV) and Disney.
According to YouTube TV, the two companies have reached a deal and access to Disney’s content should be returning throughout today, with ESPN and FX already becoming available. Along with live channels, recordings of Disney content will also be available for YouTube TV users again. At some point today, you can also expect your local ABC station to return as well.
We're happy to announce that we've reached a deal with Disney and have already started to restore access to channels like ESPN and FX, and Disney recordings that were previously in your Library. Your local ABC station will also be turning on throughout the day.

The original dispute between Disney and YouTube TV was based around carriage fees, which are the fees Disney charges YouTube TV for permission to stream their content.
YouTube TV, believing the fees weren’t fair compared to other television providers’ dealings with Disney, decided to hold back on making any new deals with Disney until a deal that was more equitable from their perspective could be made.
