YouTube TV Subscribers Left in the Dark as Disney Channels Disappear
If you're a subscriber to YouTube TV, you've likely noticed that ABC and ESPN channels have gone dark on your platform. The Walt Disney Co. has pulled its channels from YouTube TV after failing to reach new terms with the company.
As of midnight on October 30, these channels disappeared, leaving fans without access to live sports coverage or popular shows like "Abbott Elementary" and "Grey's Anatomy." While YouTube TV subscribers will receive a $20 monthly credit if Disney's channels remain off the platform for an extended period, the temporary loss of content may be frustrating for those who rely on these channels for entertainment.
Fortunately, there are several alternatives to get back your favorite channels. One option is Hulu + Live TV, which offers access to ESPN, ABC, and more channels at a regular market rate of $89.99 per month. Additionally, DirecTV is offering a free 5-day trial, and if you sign up after the trial period, you'll receive $30 off your first month.
For those looking for an affordable option, Fubo TV offers a 7-day free trial, along with $30 off the first month of service. Sling's day passes are another alternative to access ESPN channels without incurring additional costs. However, keep in mind that ABC is not included in these packages.
Finally, if you're within the broadcast radius of a local ABC affiliate, you can consider getting an over-the-air antenna to watch your favorite shows for free. Antennaweb.org allows you to plug in your ZIP code and see which channels are available in your area.
If you're wondering what games will be broadcast this weekend on ESPN or ABC, here's a list of NCAAF matchups and Monday Night Football.

u guys, i feel like youtube tv is being super shady rn. they know how much we love our disney channels, but still no prior notice? that's not cool. anyway, i've got some good news - there are some awesome alternatives out there if you're looking for a similar experience 
Hulu + Live TV and DirecTV are definitely worth checking out, especially if you're into sports like me 
️. but if you're on a budget, fubo tv's got a sweet 7-day trial 
. just gotta be aware that abc is kinda hard to get with the other options 
, can't believe Disney's doing this to YouTube TV subscribers! I mean, I get it, they wanna negotiate new terms, but not like this... leaving people in the dark overnight 
. And now we gotta scramble to find alternatives? Not cool, Disney 
. But, I guess that's just how the TV game is played now 
.
Guess that's just not how it works anymore 
.
but like yay u can get em back on hulu + live tv or direc tv im thinkin of switching 89.99 a month is kinda steep tho fubo tv is a good option too 7 days free trial cant beat that 
but omg i'm glad there are alternatives like Hulu + Live TV and DirecTV... $89.99 is kinda steep tho 
and Sling's day passes too 
now let's just hope they come back on youtube tv soon 
and now abc and espn are gone too? 
hulu + live tv is a good option i guess, but $90/month is kinda steep 
anyway, if u r near an abe affiliate, grab an antenna and watch ur fave shows for free 
. But hey, there are some awesome alternatives out there that can help you get back your favorite content for free or at a pretty affordable price 
If all else fails, getting an over-the-air antenna can be a lifesaver 
I'm so annoyed that Disney's channels just up and left YouTube TV without warning! 
It's not like we can just magic them back into existence... yet! 
On the bright side, there are some decent alternatives out there, like Hulu + Live TV and Fubo TV, that offer similar channels at a reasonable price. But still, it's gotta be frustrating for all us Disney fans who were totally blindsided by this move 
.
. But, on the bright side, there are some pretty decent alternatives like Hulu + Live TV, which has ESPN and ABC for $89.99 a month 
. I mean, I get it, negotiations didn't work out, but what about all us subscribers who were counting on those channels? 
But, you know, I guess it's not all bad... we've got some awesome alternatives like Hulu + Live TV and Fubo TV 
. Not exactly the same as having Disney's channels, but it'll do in a pinch 
anyway, i guess it's cool that there are more options out there now... like, if you want to shell out 90 bucks a month for Hulu + Live TV 
?
think i'll jump ship 2 hulu + livetv $89.99 isnt so bad
