ESPN, ABC may exit YouTube TV at midnight

Google and Disney are facing a deadline to reach an agreement that could impact YouTube TV customers' access to ESPN and ABC, crucial for college and pro football coverage. If no deal is reached by midnight Thursday, these networks may be removed from the YouTube TV platform, affecting viewers' ability to watch college football games and "Monday Night Football." Previous negotiations have seen Google strike last-minute deals with Fox in August and Comcast in September. The potential removal would require viewers to find alternative ways to watch upcoming games, such as the Cardinals-Cowboys matchup in Week 9 and the Eagles-Packers game in Week 10. Both companies are attributing the delay to the other party's financial demands, leaving consumers in a precarious position.
