Just when college football fans thought the coaching carousel was enough, a broadcasting blackout hit. On October 30, YouTube TV’s 10 million subscribers lost Disney channels, ABC, ESPN, FX, among others. A tussle between the two continued. Nearly two weeks later, the platforms finally struck a deal, bringing huge relief to fans. As the college football season inches slowly towards the final lap, no better time for the lengthy dispute to end. On November 14, analyst Joe Pompliano tweeted, “BREAKING: YouTube TV and Disney have reached an agreement. All Disney channels, including ABC and ESPN, will be back on YouTube TV shortly.” Was this decision an aftereffect of the $18 billion loss Disney endured? (This is a developing story…) 

Good news for college football fans as Disney and YouTube TV agreed to hit a middle ground, more than two weeks after the blackout
