ESPN, ABC, National Geographic and more than a dozen other Disney-owned channels have been reinstated on YouTube TV after the two companies finally struck a distribution agreement. Why it matters: The blackout,

Keeping up with the NFL schedule was already daunting before YouTube TV and Disney started feuding, and now it's harder than ever. Luckily, there are still options across a number of price points.

YouTube TV’s blackout of ESPN and other Disney-owned channels is costing them more than $4 million a day in revenue, according to a new estimate.

YouTube TV has begun issuing the promised $20 credits to subscribers affected by the ongoing Disney-ESPN channel blackout. The compensation comes as the distribution dispute enters its second week with no immediate resolution in sight, leaving sports fans without access to major events during peak college and NFL football seasons.

As the impasse continues, YouTube TV subscribers have been offered a welcome boost from another network willing to fill the void left by ESPN’s absence.

The YouTube TV blackout of Disney-owned channels has kept a pair of Monday Night Football games from being televised to millions of viewers.

Disney CFO Hugh Johnston joined CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Thursday after the company’s earnings report and indicated that the standoff could go a bit longer than sports fans are hoping, setting up a potential third straight weekend without sports on ABC or ESPN.

JJ Watt was unhappy about the YouTube TV-ESPN blackout causing him to miss Monday Night Football, and he sounds over the streaming age. If the recent ESPN-YouTube TV blackout made Monday Night Football hard to watch, you are not alone, as legendary NFL pass rusher JJ Watt was feeling your pain.

YouTube TV subscribers can rejoice as the dispute that has kept ABC and ESPN Networks off of the streaming platform has now been resolved and here's when those channels should return to the platform.
