It's been nearly two weeks since ABC, ESPN and other Disney-owned channels have gone dark on YouTube TV, with customers losing access to related content on their DVRs from Disney brands as well. Disney and Google-owned YouTube TV are continuing to negotiate a new carriage agreement, with no firm date yet set for a deal.

The company also noted that during the last two U.S. elections, “the vast majority of tuned-in YouTube TV subscribers chose not to watch ABC,” further supporting its reasoning for not restoring the network temporarily. Simply put, the company doesn’t think it makes sense.
