Both sides say that restoration has already begun. Disney content went dark on YouTube TV the night of Oct. 30 after the two sides failed to reach a new licensing deal.

YouTube TV subscribers were left without Disney channels on the platform – notably disrupting coverage of top college football matchups and professional sports games, among other news and entertainment offerings.

Other Disney-owned content removed from YouTube TV included channels like NatGeo, FX, Freeform, SEC Network, ACC Network and more.
