ESPN and its parent company, Disney, are reportedly losing millions of dollars a day amid their feud with Google.

The former pulled all of its channels and content from YouTube TV in November, which includes ESPN and ABC, inconveniencing millions of subscribers who depend on the service for their sports.

The company’s most popular faces took to social media to urge fans to side with them and put pressure on Google ahead of the exit, with Kirk Herbstreit among them. It did not go well for the ‘College GameDay’ and ‘Thursday Night Football’ personality, with social media users tearing into him.

While Disney has remained intransigent, it’s come at a considerable cost. According to Awful Announcing, the company is losing an estimated $5 million per day.

The figure noted above is based on the 10 million monthly subscribers on YouTube TV and the $15 a month Disney receives from TV providers per subscriber.

Disney could lose up to $150 a month at that rate. The hope is that this issue will be resolved well before the end of November.

 

Fans are now stuck in the middle, and those looking to tune into ‘Monday Night Football’ this week would have preferred it if the companies had gotten their business in order sometime before kickoff.

They ended up bypassing the Cardinals-Cowboys showdown on November 3, which means they missed out on Stephen A. Smith bailing on Jerry Jones and Troy Aikman ending the Cowboys owner’s career.

Disney has accused YouTube TV of refusing to pay fair market rates for its content, while Google claims that the terms the former is after would raise prices for its customers.
