Disney Channels are again returning to YouTube TV after being dropped Friday night at midnight. After not being able to reach a deal before the deadline, Google and Disney reached a deal to resume service on YouTube TV.

We're happy to announce that we've reached a deal with Disney and have already started to restore access to channels like ESPN and FX, and Disney recordings that were previously in your Library. Your local ABC station will also be turning on throughout the day.
