YouTube TV Drops Disney’s ABC, ESPN and Other Networks After Two Sides Fail to Reach New Deal

[John2021]

Well, I didn't say one way or the other, but my understanding was Disney makes most of their money from their parks and cruise lines these days. The TV stuff is technically profitable, but not nearly as much as it used to be.

I was mainly talking about how much money is wasted on college football, whether Disney is involved or not.

last i heard the disney park wasn't doing to well atleast when we were in ca they wern't people boycotted em because of woke polices and it costs to much now

I can't imagine what t.v. would be like if chicks didn't watch it .... Though the days are long gone for the need of 300-400 channels it's basicly the same crap shuffled around to different channels at different times... that's why we have DVR'S for

"Blaming" game mirrors that long-running between sat providers and programmers- The provider says the programmer shut it off whilst the programmer says the provider shut it off.

It's always the blame game!!! maybe it's time for them to cut some of the CEO'S salaries

I dont watch most of them except during College football and basketball season. The ESPN channels, SEC, and ABC are basically the only reason I use live tv for even a small part of the year, and even then only a few hours a week in that time.

Exactly! I would add Monday Night Football, but since ESPN is now simulcasting so many of the top tier games on ABC, I can miss a couple of MNF games here and there. But yeah, I really only watch the Disney owned channels now for football and basketball season, and then occasional Pardon the Interruption throughout the year.

Its always the Network/ Channel (old term) that pulls the service, NOT the Provider ...

If I the Provider lets say Directv or YTTV or whomever, has a great show thats drawing well, then along comes the Network CBS/or Paramount or Hulu or ABC .... WHY would I the Provider pull the plug on the show thats the best for you ?
You Wouldn't ....

But the Owner of that show WOULD, to get you attention, or More Money.

Its Not the distributer that pulls the show.
