It’s now been revealed how you can watch ESPN and ABC for free if you are a YouTube TV subscriber. Currently, the network and streaming service are in the middle of a dispute, causing users to not have the channels available on a college football Saturday.
The blackout of all Disney's networks — including ABC, ESPN, ESPN 2, SEC Network, among others — on YouTube TV has now reached over a week. The previous deal between Disney and Google, which is YouTube TV's parent company, expired at the end of the day on Oct. 30, leaving users of the streaming platform without Disney's catalog since then.
“Unfortunately, Google’s YouTube TV has chosen to deny their subscribers the content they value most by refusing to pay fair rates for our channels, including ESPN and ABC,” a Disney spokesperson told Variety Magazine in a report on Oct. 30.
The stand-off between the distributor with 10 million subscribers and the content company controlling premium sports TV rights continues.
