The companies failed to reach a contract renewal before midnight ET. <b>ESPN, ABC, FX, National Geographic, ACC Network, SEC Network<\/b>, and others all went dark simultaneously. <b>Monday Night Football<\/b> games vanished. <b>Election Day coverage on ABC<\/b> came into jeopardy.<\/p>\n<p><b>YouTube TV<\/b> says <b>Disney<\/b> demanded unfair rates.

Many cut cable precisely to avoid high bills. Now they&#8217;re trapped between <b>YouTube TV<\/b> and <b>Disney&#8217;s<\/b> demands. <b>10 million subscribers<\/b> can&#8217;t watch <b>Monday Night Football, college football, NBA, NHL games<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Election coverage took a hit too. Local <b>ABC stations<\/b> went dark in major markets. People couldn&#8217;t access news on election night through their streaming service. <b>Disney<\/b> had to scramble to protect its own streaming profits.<\/p>\n<p>The situation echoes old cable wars. Cord-cutters thought they&#8217;d escape this nightmare. Instead, streaming services replicate the exact same carriage battles. <b>YouTube TV<\/b> offers a <b>$20 one-time credit<\/b> if the blackout lasts weeks. That doesn&#8217;t fix the problem\u2014it just apologizes for it.<\/p>\n<h2>The Numbers: Channels, Costs, and Daily Losses<\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s exactly what disappeared from <b>YouTube TV<\/b>:<\/p>\n<table style='width: 100%;border-collapse: collapse;margin: 15px 0'>\n<tr style='background-color: #f0f0f0'>\n<th style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px;text-align: left'><b>Channels Removed<\/b><\/th>\n<th style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px;text-align: left'><b>Category<\/b><\/th>\n<th style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px;text-align: left'><b>Impact<\/b><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px'><b>ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px'>Sports<\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px'>NFL, college football, NBA gone<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background-color: #f9f9f9'>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px'><b>ABC<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px'>Broadcast<\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px'>Local news, election coverage missing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px'><b>FX, National Geographic<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px'>Entertainment<\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px'>Shows, documentaries unavailable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background-color: #f9f9f9'>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px'><b>ACC Network, SEC Network<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px'>Sports<\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px'>College sports coverage halted<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px'><b>15+ total channels<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px'>All<\/td>\n<td style='border: 1px solid #ddd;padding: 12px'>Entire Disney portfolio removed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><b>Disney<\/b> stands to lose <b>$5 million every single day<\/b> this blackout lasts.
