ESPN and YouTube TV went through a carriage dispute during the 2025 football season...which caused a two-week blackout for ESPN. ESPN and YouTube TV eventually came to an agreement...which reportedly cost ESPN $100 million in revenue. As a result...ESPN is once again going through another round of layoffs. We discuss the latest round of layoffs at ESPN. We explain why ESPN had no leverage in their negotiations with YouTube...which led to the $100 million in lost revenue.
