Disney prepares for carriage fight with YouTube TV
The House of Mouse is the latest in a line of media companies that will have to take on YouTube TV to keep its channels on that streamer. Here we go again….again! YouTube TV is gearing up for another carriage battle with a major entertainment company.
These questions brought to us by news that some of Disney’s shareholder groups would like the corporation to answer their questions about its conduct over the last week, and specifically as applies to the nearly week-long suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Some subscribers rage-quit the Mouse House over Kimmel’s suspension, but others apparently rushed to join. According to Variety, data from research firm Antenna revealed that Disney’s two flagship streaming platforms experienced double their usual cancellation rates in September 2025, while also seeing a significant bump in new subscribers.
Sinclair Broadcast Group released a statement Monday saying that it would continue to preempt Jimmy Kimmel’s show after Disney ended the show’s suspension.
