Wholesale transfer pricing: “To compensate for the absence of Disney owned content, YouTube TV will lower its price by $15/month to $49.99 a month until the standoff is resolved.” Service disappeared in the middle of a Lakers vs. Timberwolves game. https://thestreamable.com/...

Members, we worked hard to avoid this but were unable to reach a fair deal with Disney. We regret to share that as of December 17, all Disney-owned channels are unavailable on YouTube TV. While Disney content remains off our platform, we'll decrease our price by $15/month.

Can you blame them? They own a competing streaming platform. https://twitter.com/...

I have been an enthusiastic consumer of YouTube TV and have recommended it to many people, including on this platform. Now you're just pulling the same crap that made me leave cable. Without the sports channels, I'll be entering the transfer portal. https://twitter.com/...
