Disney has pulled channels including Disney Junior, Disney Channel and Disney XD off of YouTube TV as part of an ongoing carriage dispute.

YouTube TV is a US subscription service that offers live TV streams from more than 100 broadcast, cable and sports networks. It also includes YouTube originals and trending YouTube videos. In April, researcher Michael Nathanson estimated that the service had more than nine million subscribers.

Disney had an agreement with YouTube TV to put more than 20 channels on the platform, including ABC and ESPN, plus its kidsnets. This deal expired on October 30, and the companies weren’t able to renew the contract with terms that both were happy with.

YouTube has announced that it will credit subscribers if the channels aren’t restored soon. And it’s a move that reveals just how valuable Disney content is on YouTube TV. Earlier this year, for example, Nielsen reported that the top three streaming shows for preschoolers were all on Disney Junior.

As is typical in carriage disputes (remember last year’s Disney and DirecTV carriage dust-up?), the companies are busy trading barbs and blaming each other for the situation.

“Unfortunately, Google’s YouTube TV has chosen to deny their subscribers the content they value most by refusing to pay fair rates for our channels,” a Disney spokesperson told Kidscreen. “Without a new agreement in place, their subscribers will not have access to our programming, which includes the best lineup in live sports.”

The same source went on to add: “With a US$3-trillion market cap, Google is using its market dominance to eliminate competition and undercut the industry-standard terms we’ve successfully negotiated with every other distributor. We know how frustrating this is for YouTube TV subscribers, and remain committed to working toward a resolution as quickly as possible.”

YouTube is pointing the finger back at Disney, alleging that the Mouse House is using strong-arm tactics to improve its deal. “Last week, Disney used the threat of a blackout on YouTube TV as a negotiating tactic to force deal terms that would raise prices on our customers,” reads a statement from yesterday. “They’re now following through on that threat, suspending their content on YouTube TV. This decision directly harms our subscribers, while benefiting their own live TV products, including Hulu + Live TV and Fubo.”

Both companies say they’re working on reaching a fair agreement and getting the channels back on YouTube TV.
