If the company is unable to reach a deal by Friday, the Disney-owned channels will no longer be available on YouTube TV starting December 17. And, the company will decrease their monthly price by $15, from $64.99 to $49.99 — while Disney content remains off the platform.
The company mentioned that it partners with content owners in order to make over 85 channels available to users on YouTube TV.
"From time to time, our partnerships need to be renewed to ensure we continue to offer a strong lineup at a competitive and fair price," the company said. (IANS/SP)
