What Happened: Well, you can finally exhale. After more than two weeks of that awful blackout, Disney and YouTube TV have finally buried the hatchet.
Why Is This Important: This whole feud was a perfect, messy example of the new cold war in TV.
Why Should I Care: So, what does this all mean for you? It’s simple: your channels are back.
What’s Next: This new agreement is for multiple years, so we should have peace… for now. But don’t get too comfortable.
As streaming gets more expensive and ad money gets weird, this exact kind of fight between the companies that make the shows and the companies that stream them is absolutely going to happen again.
