YouTubeTV’s carriage rights for local stations are set up differently than they are on cable systems. If Disney were feuding with Comcast, for example, then only ABC’s owned-and-operated affiliates would be removed from Comcast systems — Sinclair’s ABC affiliates would still be available.
However, with this Disney-Google dispute, ALL ABC affiliates are currently off YouTubeTV, including the ones Sinclair owns. > On Nov 5, 2025, at 4:51 PM, Tom Wolper <[email protected]> wrote: > > That Variety article was a mess.
