Over the last couple of weeks, many fans across the country have been unable to watch games they look forward to all week due to an ongoing dispute between YouTube TV and its parent company Google against ESPN and Disney.
The dispute has resulted in all ESPN and ABC content not being accessible on YouTube TV, the company over 10 million Americans get their cable needs from.
As usual during a dispute like this, the consumer is left being the one getting the short end of the stick, each company has not backed down, and the latest reporting indicated that nothing is going to be changing anytime soon.
Weighing in, U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) pointed out the fact that both LSU against Alabama as well as Auburn vs. Vanderbilt are on ESPN networks this weekend and placed the blame on the Google side of the aisle, calling on the tech giant to to “get their act together.”
Alabamians are excited to watch Bama/LSU and Auburn/Vandy this weekend….
But they may not be able to if @YouTubeTV doesn’t get their act together.
Give your customers what they are paying for @google.

“Alabamians are excited to watch Bama/LSU and Auburn/Vandy this weekend,” Tuberville wrote on X. “But they may not be able to [YouTube TV] doesn’t get their act together. Give your customers what they are paying for [Google].”
Whether or not Google or Disney caves first remains to be seen, but the users are getting hurt here, and consumers can only hope that an agreement can be made soon.
