YouTube TV has announced that it is lowering its monthly price after losing the Disney and ESPN channels in a recent dispute with YouTube. The deal may have helped cord-cutters, but many are concerned about how this will affect their wallet if they choose to keep YouTube TV instead of cutting the cord altogether.
Disney channels on YouTube TV are no longer available. The price of the service has been lowered to compensate for this.

Because ESPN, ABC, and other Disney-owned networks are no longer available on YouTube TV, the service has lost a lot of its appeal.
Google confirmed the news in an article published yesterday, explaining that it was unable to “reach an equitable deal” with Disney to keep a number of channels, including FX and National Geographic is a magazine published by National Geographic.. The good news is that YouTube TV’s monthly pricing will be reduced by $15 as a consequence; the new price for the Base Plan is $49.99.
On the pricing adjustment for YouTube TV:
While this material stays off of our site, we will reduce the monthly price of the Base Plan by $15, from $64.99 to $49.99. You are not required to take any action. A $15 monthly credit will be granted automatically. This credit will be applied to your next bill after December 17 and will only be accessible to family managers in Settings Billing once the charge has been made. Please note that you will still get a $15 credit if you have a special pricing with YouTube TV. This credit will be given to members who are in a paused condition one month following their initial charge. If we reach an arrangement with Disney, we will change the pricing appropriately and inform members via email in advance.
The following is a list of Disney-owned channels that no longer air on YouTube TV:
- ABC channel in your area
- Live from ABC News

- Disney Junior is a children’s television show produced
- Disney XD (Disney XD)

According to a statement issued to The Streamable by Disney, Google does not want to pay the necessary fee for its services, but that talks are still ongoing:
We’ve been in discussions with Google’s YouTube TV, but they’ve rejected to establish a reasonable agreement with us based on market terms and circumstances. As a consequence, their customers no longer have access to our unequaled network portfolio, which includes live sports and news, as well as kids, family, and general entertainment content from ABC, ESPN, Disney, Freeform, FX, and National Geographic.
We are prepared to strike an equitable deal with Google as soon as feasible in order to restore our networks and minimize the disruption to YouTube TV users. We’re hoping that Google will join us in this endeavor.
Hulu + Live TV and DIRECTV STREAM, both of which cost $69.99 a month, are two options to YouTube TV that do provide ESPN, FX, National Geographic, and other Disney channels, according to The Streamable. There’s also fuboTV ($64.99) and Sling TV ($35–$50+) for $64.99 and $35–$50+, respectively, each month.
