Nov. 12 (UPI) -- A carriage dispute between Disney and YouTube TV costs Disney about $4.3 million per day and could cause YouTube TV to lose a fourth of its subscribers.
The dispute is in its 13th day on Thursday and would cost Disney about $30 million per week as Google-owned YouTube TV refuses to air ABC, ESPN and other programming, according to Morgan Stanley analyst Benjamin Swinburne, as reported by The Wrap.
Swinburne initially estimated the dispute would last for 14 days and cost a total of $60 million, but that timeframe is about to expire.
The YouTube TV blackout of Disney-owned programming started on Oct. 31 after Disney demanded more money from YouTube TV to carry more than 20 of its channels.
YouTube TV officials refused and have said they will give subscribers a $20 credit.
