YouTube TV claims Disney has been "unnecessarily aggressive and assertive," while Disney states the former has blown things out of proportion. Viewers lost 21 of Disney's channels last week, including ABC and ESPN, as neither side could reach a content agreement before the October 30 deadline.

A Disney spokesperson told Deadline the company asked YouTube TV to restore access to ABC for Election Day on Tuesday “so subscribers have access to the information they rely on, adding it would be a “small step for their customers while we continue to work toward a fair agreement.”

Disney asked YouTube to add ABC ahead of Election Day. YouTube TV said in the past two elections, its viewers largely did not watch ABC.

Google declined a request from Disney to allow ABC back on YouTube TV for election coverage as the two giants are negotiating streaming rights.

Discussions on Reddit indicate that many YouTube TV users are switching to or considering a move to DirecTV following the Disney debacle.

Disney's feud with Google and YouTube TV is reportedly costing the entertainment company a whopping $5 million a day.

Disney urges YouTube TV to restore ABC amid a fee dispute, while Amazon confirms 14,000 layoffs and Robinhood expands into home lending with new mortgage perks.

YouTube TV is reportedly offering some subscribers a $10 monthly credit for six months as compensation for the loss of Disney channels.
