After just a few days ago, YouTube TV users lost access to channels owned by Disney companies, this Monday The online television platform announced that after meeting with the Disney corporation, access is again given to all its owned channels.

ABC, FX, ESPN, National Geographic stand out among the most requested channels by YouTube TV subscribers in the United States.

Last Friday, YouTube informed its almost 4 million subscribers that it was disconnecting them from Disney channels due to lack of agreement between both companies, for which offered a discount of $ 15 dollars monthly for the loss of the signal of certain channels.

This discount offered by YouTube is still valid at least for the next invoice, to compensate for the abrupt suspension that users had. For example, those who watched the basketball game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Minnesota Timberwolves, did not see the end because they were left without service.

Therefore, the monthly payment of Youtube TV is again $ 64. 99 dollars per month, starting the following month. This was made known by the online television platform by sending its customers an email in which they announced that “Disney channels had been reestablished.”

In total, almost 20 channels appeared on Youtube TV through the link with Disney: ABC, ABC News Live, Disney Channel, Disney Junior, Disney XD, Freeform, FX, FXX, FXM, National Geographic, National Geographic Wild, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, SEC Network and ACC Network.

They were only 48 hours, and it is not yet known how critical for some YouTube subscribers, and their love of sports . For example, the college football postseason was being broadcast on ESPN and ABC and it is possible that many decided this weekend to look for another service.

The agreement reached by both companies was not disclosed, but according to followers of the issue it may have to do with a rate agreement.

Unique Disney content can be enjoyed with a subscription of $ 7. 99 dollars per month in Disney Bundle that gives you Disney +, Hulu and ESPN, or an annual subscription of $ 79. 99 Dollars.
