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.”

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 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.

As the standoff continues, ESPN sent a subtle message to anyone looking for the "Monday Night Football" game - like YouTube TV customers. In nearly every tweet from the ESPN account on Monday night, the network included the message "Watch Cardinals-Cowboys on ABC, ESPN and the ESPN App" at the bottom.
