The claim that Disney is losing $30 million a week from Youtube TV not showing their videos is not the entirety of the story. Disney pulled all of its channels from the Youtube TV platform including all ESPN and ABC channels, two of the nations biggest networks. This is because Disney believes Youtube TV is not paying them a fair market price for their channels, though they are losing even more money by pulling all their channels. Youtube TV feels they can't pay Disney's asking prices for their channels as they would have to increase their subscription price to over $20 a month, more than the average person would be willing to pay.

Disney's greediness with their asking prices is only hurting their company more as they now have lost all revenue from Youtube TV, equating to the $30 million a month figure. Youtube TV is also taking a big hit from this dispute as their users don't feel the subscription price is worth it without access to Disney's channels. Because of this, they have issued a $20 credit to all Youtube TV users to make up for the temporary channel shutdown on the platform.
